YES!!!!!
I'm running Vista with Boot Camp (the previous version!) and the driver CD hasn't intstalled correctly yet!
All I want is keyboard eject to work on by Apple Bluetooth KB, and to have the Starup Disk option in Control Panel.
I cannot wait to get home tonight and install it!
Fricking sweet!! |

I'm glad to see there is additional support for the Apple remote. It's about time! |

I'm not running Boot Camp, but it's good to see Apple offer this for you guys. They could have very easily held off Windows Vista support for Leopard. I guess it's a reward for being "beta testers".

That's great and all but, come on! It's all about the Leopard! I'd at least like a solid release date. That's why I'm waiting on a new macbook pro.

It sounds like you need to break out that 1.1.x drivers disk again and roll back the drivers. I guess you'll need a wired keyboard too. |

Weird!?!
Did you upgrade, or do a fresh install? |

I upgraded. Bear in mind that it does take Windows a minute or two to realise there's a keyboard there. Sometimes I have to reset the keyboard before Windows recognises it. |

Really?
I'll let it reboot and stay on the windows sign in screen for a while.
Funny how it found it before, huh? |

Even stranger is the fact the Windows originally discovered my BT keyboard before I installed any drivers when I initially installed XP. I thought I'd have to plug a USB keyboard in at first, but no. |

Very strange indeed! I haven't used an Apple brand keyboard in years before getting this BT one, ironic thast my older MS wireless desktop set works better!?
I rebooted into vista and let it sit for several minutes, and nothing. It wold not find it. And when I ran the BT thing in control panel, it found, but wouldn't set it up!
OY, this is frustrating! Just like running windows on a real PC! |
