    I just installed BootCamp 1.2 with Vista Business. I noticed that if you set your Mobility Center to "Power Saver", Aero is automatically turned off when you're running on battery. Pretty neat. :)

    Can I update my current one, or do I have to erase Windows and install it all over again?

    I'm having problems with my keyboard in bootcamp. When I play a game in bootcamp (mame emulator), he regulary doesn't register some movements. Does anyone know whether that has been resolved?

    On Apple rumors yes. According to MacRumors they have gotten 1 out of something like 20 supposed rumors correct, and that one was technically wrong also. They said there would be 2 and 4 gig shuffles when we got Nanos.
