Can I run Windows Vista on this? Would anyone know if I'll be able to install Vista Ultimate on this?

Yes. You'll have to do some tweaking until Apple officially supports it with BootCamp, but it works fine and even gives full Aero support. Some Google searching will show you plenty of sites with the tweaks needed to get Vista onto the MacBook.

I don't know why you can't install it; I've had no trouble and I have Windows 7, too. I have the 64-bit version. I don't know if that makes a difference, but mine runs very well.

Vista and 7 are virtually the same in terms of system requirements. It has Vista 32bit, meaning you need Win7 32bit. A 64bit OS will not work.

well, the description must state that it is 32 bit. And if your system can run windows 7 it should work. That is what I did and now I am running windows 7 on my desktop that came with windows vista...hope that helps

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit beta version. It is so much nicer that Vista. I upgraded originally from XP Pro to Vista Business. Am I eligible for the upgrade for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit? (since my vista business is an upgrade) and i don't want to re do my computer again. I just put the beta version on, will there be a way to just put in the cd key? Thanks

i checked on the site and it says it works with vista so it should work with windows 7 not sure if its compatible with windows 7 64bit though. if you do upgrade to windows 7 and get win7 pro it comes with a xp virtual machine so you could run anything that works with xp on it.

I upgraded from Vista on 2 computers. it was a hands off success. Both of them work significantly better now.

What did you find-out about 64 bit compatability. So far< I have not found any drive compatable with 64 bit Vista.

Yes but... It needs to be SP2 64bit and If you're running vista, you likely have an old graphics card. This needs a pretty good card. Read the specs before buying otherwise it won't run and most sellers don't accept returns on PC games.

Despite what others will say, you can. You have to run it in compatibility mode for WinXP-32bit (Or previous Windows if it gives you the option). This worked for me in windows Vista/7. If you're running Win8 I can't say for sure. There might have been another thing to install (A roommate stole my disk so I can't try) some quick googling should help.

No, and not Vista or 7 either if you have a 64-bit install. The drivers on the website were not built correctly. I opened a ticket and am trying to get them to fix it. I'm a software developer and have given them exact information on what the problem is.

Greetings, Not at all - this is quite complex. Also, once built, you must specially configure a a PC with a parallel port (no longer user very much) and Windows XP. When last I checked there was a Vista port - but no Windows 7 support at all.

I'm using Vista 64 bit and it works excellent with my Vista, I can't truly say a factual yes but, I feel it should work without any problems.

No. The problem is the software are technically not compatible. I ended up purchasing a whole new system because I was running into problems with the software on my Vista system.

Probably not. They were pretty adamant in the product specs and the Amazon reviews & comments that it had to be Windows 7. That version is newer than your Vista. My advice is don't even try. Good luck.

I am using Windows 7, Vista has a terrible reputation and would suspect that that is the problem. My advice is to dump Vista.
