TUAW gets 15 seconds on CommandN

CommandN, the venerable podcast hosted by Amber MacArthur and Mike Lazazzera covering headlines, tips and other tech stuff, cited my Windows Vista is Boot Camp friendly post in episode #60 (iTMS link). They cover the issue with other headlines in the beginning of the show, and Mike catches Amber when feigning interest in trying out Vista on her Mac. Way to keep her on 'er toes, Mike, and thanks to CommandN for our 15 seconds!

I, however, am feeling a bit more adventurous, and I have an 'Install Vista on your Intel Mac' how-to post in the works. Dan Pourhadi did Vista on his MBP back in June, but he had to go the nasty route by deleting his EFI partition which, in addition to causing other problems, impairs Boot Camp's ability to reclaim the Windows partition it creates for Mac OS X. I've managed to get this latest build installed cleanly through Boot Camp, and I assure you: no partitions were harmed in the installation of Vista on my MacBook Pro. My how-to post will offer some gotchas to look out for and tips to get things running as smoothly as possible. Stay tuned.
