Hi there,
I need to run Windows 7 for various reasons on my macbook pro. What are my options in doing this? I have a windows 7 license already and I am running the latest mac OS.
Any steps/advice would be great.
Thanks
I think this thread was just about running Windows on a Mac (rather than running Mac OS X on a standard PC).Can never get a hackintosh working, not even on a virtual pc. I suspect it has to do with my hardware. lol
Maybe after the holidays I'll finally look into buying a new apple.

But, you're right... I could never get a Hackintosh working either. It's normally always hardware.
I got it running in VMWare once, but with only 2GB shared between Windows and Mac OS X Lion it was slooooooow.
The osx86 scene didin't release a really working AMD kernel since Snow Leopard. It always been hackish one in Lion or Mountain Lion.HP Pavilion a6750f
Granted it's an AMD, but I've known others with an AMD still be successful. And I'm not using the on board video (disabled it in the cmos) and have a nvidia gt430 to replace it. Oh well.......
Apple's one short coming is they charge far to much for their hardware. Which is a shame cause with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad being so successful, people really do want to go Apple. They've already learned the OS if you've used either device (more or less).
In fact everyone I know has looked into buying an Apple Computer... It's the next logical step for them, but when they see the price they simply walk away. I can get an HP with all the specs of an Mac Pro for far less.
Doesn't matter. Snow Leopard seems to hate my computer tooThe osx86 scene didin't release a really working AMD kernel since Snow Leopard. It always been hackish one in Lion or Mountain Lion.
For me it half-hated it. On the .2 release USB worked. I update to .8 for video support, I lose my USB support (So no keyboard/mouse :/)Doesn't matter. Snow Leopard seems to hate my computer too
