Mac Book Pro coming up: XP or Vista ?
Posted by Theo Heselmans on June 29th, 2007
I ordered a brand new Mac Book Pro 15" a couple of weeks ago. Don't know why it takes so long to deliver. Could be because I asked for the speedy 160Gb 7200 rpm harddisk.
Anyway, I've been waiting for so many months now (for the new models to arrive), a week extra won't harm.
Because I partially live in the Notes Designer, and because most of my clients use Windows, I'm going to run both Boot Camp and Parallels.
Now the million dollar question:
- What do you recommend: XP or Vista?
- Is Notes 7.02 stable enough to run on Vista ?

XP. You don't need the Vista overhead. And Parallels 3.0 in Fusion mode (you will forget that there is Bootcamp). The official Vista ready Notes version is 7.0.3/8.0

Theo,
I'm thinking about getting new laptop and I MacBook Pro is my strong candidate. The only concern that I have is my need to use Notes Designer. Can you tell me which software you used to run vista and if you had any problems using designer.

Don't worry, get a MacBook Pro, you won't be disappointed !
I installed Boot Camp 1.4b, Vista Business, Notes 7.02.
I've had no problems at all (running for over 3 weeks now).
Vista is very stable, and Notes and the Designer are too.
