Putting windows on it won't help you fix the fact that the hardware is going to be weaker, there is no configuring to be done at this point.
This I just have to laugh at. HOW IS IT WEAKER? A core 2 duo is a core 2 duo and RAM is RAM. They have the same parts in them man, and the difference is how the OS manages resources and in my experience Leopard does a lot better than Vista at managing resources.
It's only weaker because you can't put anything bigger than a 2.6ghz processor in. And for the price you pay it would seem to me you could find a 2.8ghz machine. I think i might have misstated. I just meant that you can't CONFIGURE a macbook pro to be as powerful as you could a pc.This I just have to laugh at. HOW IS IT WEAKER? A core 2 duo is a core 2 duo and RAM is RAM.

well you can get a macbook and install windows on it then and then configure it.
Thats defeating the purpose of a Mac!! I believe the only good thing about macs is the OS. The mac hardware themselves are not that good for what you pay.
simple mac are very idiot proof for most programs thats why people in hollywood use them cause there idiots.
but i do gotta say i dont like vista. its pretty crappy.. made things more of a pain in the ass then simple.. and if mac is so great they why dont they let u install it on a hand made computer? because they want to over charge you for there in house made computers.
Please share with us your knowledge or proof of why this is. Otherwise you are just being a troll and should stop posting useless crap like this.
Tlarkin does have a point, there is different software included. I do agree though. I don't think that macs are very competitive hardware wise.Look at the prices! They should speak for themselves.

feel free to point out a 400$ worth of differnece.
kill bill said:P.S is anyone updating to 10.5.3 yet it got realsed 30mins ago i'm so excited.
I grow tired of educating fools, but here it goes
1) The screen is not as high quality
2) it is a half inch thicker and weighs more
3) No: SMS, ambient light sensor, back lit keyboard or firewire 800
4) HDMI and optical audio out? Not seeing it
5) multi touch mouse pad? Not seeing that either
6) Also, you need to upgrade to Vista Ultimate to get the full functionality that Leopard has out of the box. So that is a pay for upgrade right there. Since OS X by default has built in remote desktop, back up abilities, file system encryption, which all of those are only available in Vista ultimate but are standard in OS X Leopard.
That easily makes the cost if not makes the MBP look even more attractive for the price.
#EDIT
OK I saw the HDMI and SPDIF outputs, however the sound card is probably lower quality.
