Re: Vista and XSI?

["Stefan Andersson" <sanders3d(at)gmail.com>]

I can only agree :) And running bootcamp on a macbook pro works great
if you need windows for some applications (such as xsi). Or.... you
can install Linux, some distros actually supports the MacBook Pro now.
And then you can have both OSX and Linux.

Windows.... "archive to bin"
