Anyone used bootcamp for Windows 7? How do you like it? I may try it on my 2011 Macbook Pro for gaming purposes...

I installed this on my MBP and didn't even boot into it. Opened the partition using Parallels which I found to be loving fantastic. The mouse took a bit of tweaking, but I was playing Counter-strike (just for laughs) with no problems.

I'm new to Mac's and the fact I could do this and flick between different OSX poo poo, like it wasn't even a big deal, was a big deal to me. I seem to recall VMs being terrible a few years ago.

Yep. You can drag aliases to the Finder toolbar. In NeXTSTEP it was the shelf.

This is great for dealing with Windows file server alias's. Thanks.

Also, I'm still not all that impressed with how OSX handles Windows shares - *clicks on server.... connecting....* etc. The alias in the Finder bar helps, but I kind of wanted a bunch of shares in the Favorites bar to kind of imitate permanently mapped shares I used to have in Windows...

Tried adding them to login items like in the screenshot above? That might help a bit since it'll just mount them all at login rather than whenever you get around to clicking them. Otherwise are you adding the mounted shares themselves or address links? (not sure it it really makes a difference, but maybe it does once it's mounted)

Basically everytime you sleep the Mac they all get dismounted. As far as I've been able to search there is no reliable/easy method to keep permanent Windows share mounts. I just have a bunch of Alias links now which works a bit quicker, I guess.

This is the best solution provided in this thread.

Just for laughs, anyone getting Error 100 should try checking for System Updates. Mine worked straight after I downloaded some seemingly unrelated updates.

So Gestures are breaking on sleep, as well as the Dock at least half the time. I have to force quit Dock in Activity Monitor to get things appearing/disappearing properly. I updated rather than clean installing.

Any fixes out for these yet or do I have to gently caress about clean installing to make it go away?
