    Windows on a Mac using Boot Camp is identical to Windows on an OOTB Windows machine. No simulation whatsoever.

    No. The problem I put in the OP worked itself out. I want to go back to .75. I am not a fan of the .114 hybrid.

    If Windows is on a Mac using Boot Camp, it can be done.

    didn't you say no simulation ?
    can you get on the drive with a command prompt ?
    can you run MS DOS commands (ie. dir, copy) ?
    can you play Commander Keen :}

    Its as if you went to a computer store and bought a Windows computer. Make more sense?

    kinda, i should just check out this Boot Camp you are talking about... just trying to (as said) comprehend the file system which is different on a Mac..

    Boot Camp partitions your hard drive so its like have two separate hard drives in a way. Then on the new partition, it installs Windows from the Windows install disks you have. So its really like having two fully operating computers in one.

    aha okay... in that case, yes i do believe you should be able to use DOS apps such as JL_Cmder.. so you should also be able to run DM to upgrade/install an OS..

    That's what you meant about DOS apps?! Yes JL_Cmdr works no problem. I've done it many many times and DM also works without any issues.

    yup... well JL_Cmder is a DOS app, DM obviously is a Win app..

    but interesting.

    Except for only having one mouse button. No right/left clicking.


    Thought about it. We'll see how I feel Saturday.

    I haven't really ran into this issue. I don't use my wireless Mighty Mouse. Batteries drain too quickly. I use a Targus mouse thing that has both buttons.
