MacBook running Windows 7 Beta

uhmmm i had this like this a few weeks ago

okay? i've had this since february.

does the laptop overheat like usual on bootcamp?
hows the cpu usage and battery life? (compared to xp or something)

idk what you mean by 'like usual'. i've run 3 different OS's using boot camp and i've never had an issue with over heating.

I haven't really used it too much running on the battery, and i've never really looked at cpu usage.

i just kept reading everyones response to how bootcamp leads to overheating (around the upper left area) when running windows
some where its so hot where its untouchable
so i was just wondering if you knew any thing if win7 still has this problem

hmm.. thats strange. I never had the problem of over heating running both windows xp sp3 and windows 7.

wow quick response haha

well yea.. the overheating was one of the main reasons for me to stray away from bootcamp and just go with a VM

also how big is the partition you used on windows and is there a noticeable difference in speed on the mac os side?

well i only have an 80GB hard drive, so i made the windows OS 20 GB. However I plan to upgrade to a 500 GB drive, at which point i will make the windows partition 100GB.

the overheating problem i had too turns out its just a symptom of your fan dying and not being able to spin fast enough to keep the proccessor cool and also rember that windows is natively an intel/amd system and mac was primerialy a powerpc system the require different nessecities processing power being one of them the Mac os is easir on the intel chip because its basically not as process hogging as windows, and be ready to replace your fan when it starts grinding, i just did mine last week

they shut pirate bay down. fucking legal assholes.
