    Installed bootcamp drivers off the CD and they worked in Vista 64...

    Everything seems to work fine...so does that mean they *did* put out the Vista 64 drivers with the new batch of discs when the update came for the MBP?

    Works good for me anyway.

    That may be the case, we need more user experiences with the new discs. My 2.2 macbook discs didn't contain 64bit drivers and I didn't know this at the time I was installing vista. Long story short, I had to install the 32bit version instead because everything was all skewed when I installed the 64bit version of vista.

    So far everything works for me including LAN, Bluetooth, Keyboard, Trackpad, Backlighting of the keyboard, wireless.

    The only thing that doesnt work well is the ambient light screen dimming feature...I have to manually dim the screen in low light but the keyboard lights up well and adjusts depending on lighting conditions.

    The only other quirky thing I have noticed is the Delete key on my MBP in windows sometimes behaves unexpectedly. Like I can go into word and use it just fine but when I am in explorer and I want to delete a file or folder it wont work...it acts as a back button...thus I just need to right click and delete.

    Thats all I have noticed so far though.
