I think that you’ll also be pleased to know that the driver issues that I had with the beta bootcamp have been resolved. No more problems with the mice or the cams.

I haven’t had an issue with keyboards. I just change in the system preferences and also include a picture of the keyboard map on the desktop.

Boot Camp is a pretty smooth operator, and our IT department didn’t seem to have too much trouble putting the standard office image on a dual boot machine. Initially there were some issues with some of the standard iMac hardware not working (the iSight for example) and the mouse would get wonky and not want to register. I havn’t used it in months, though, so the drivers may have evolved.

However, I highly recommend using Parallels (or VMWare, which I hear is actually better) if you can swing the cost. The upshot of using virtual machines is that you can deploy a new one simply by copying the files over, instead of doing separate images. If your Windows VM gets corrupt you simply overwrite it with a saved backup. No muss, no fuss, and you don’t have to deal with separate partitions.

Apple’s ASR imaging software is really slick, worlds better than Norton Ghost, and so using VMs you just bring Windows right along for the ride.

I suggest browsing the Bombich forums on this subject.

I would -love- to hear how playing with Leopard goes. One question: I’ve heard from others that finding a keyboard to work with both Windows and OS X can be difficult (one that replicates all of the “special” keys, that is). What’s your experience with that?

This may be fixed with leopard, but even though I received leopard a couple of weeks ago, I haven’t had time to do a new install.

I’ll let you know as things progress.
