    I do plan to dual boot using boot camp so heres my questions...

    1. will the new trackpad functions work in windows vista?
    2. how about other functions like the baklit keyboard and te usb ports or other such things? will i need to get drivers for these things when i instal vista?

    thanks!

    1.No, I do not think so since tap clicking doesn't even work. However scrolling with 2 fingers works, along with touching with 2 fingers + clicking the button for a right-click.

    2.Boot Camp has its own set of drivers for all the hardware on the MBP. Only limiting thing I have experienced was the lack of tap clicking in Windows.
