Hey guys, I am going to buy a laptop, Macbook Pro, and in that I can use bootcamp to run Windows as well, the thing is I am buying it from University and in order to connect to there database with Windows, I need Windows Vista Enterprise Edition, if someone here can tell me where I can buy it for a good price, cause I need a geniune copy! Would appreciate it a lot!

Also some feed back on the Macbook pro, here is the specification to the one I am about to buy: Apple Macintosh Laptops: http://its.uncg.edu/Laptop/About/

Its the Apple version the last one, priced at $2356.00 (15 inch MacBook Pro 2.5 GHZ), so guys if you can help me on the issues of Windows Vista Enterprise and some feedback on the Mac Probook? Or should I go for the IBM Lenovo, but freinds tell me that IBM Lenovo sucks?

Also please if anyone can tell me a little bit more about boot camp on the Mac?

Thanks!
 
Are you SURE you need to get enterprise? You should be able to get onto their databases with a plain copy of Windows. I read the FAQ's on the site and it said nothing about needing enterprise edition. If you need an OS disk, you can purchase them for $5.00 after filling out the correct form on the FAQ page.

Lenovo is a pretty good brand, but they have some issues with warranty and durability. The Macbook Pro is a really strong machine and should suit you just fine.

Yeah I found out that I don't need enterprise, that is what the Lenovo comes with, see I have not really used Mac, will be my first Mac machine, but the people told me that in the Mac, there is a program called boot camp that I can use, which will allow me to have windows vista on there as well, do you know about boot camp?

And if I have hardly ever used a Mac Apple, how long would it usually take for a person to get used to it?
 
I have never owned a mac. I do know that you can use Bootcamp and install Windows on there (whether it be Vista or XP - your choice).
