apple drivers

Will the Apple drivers supplied with Boot Camp software for XP work in Vista? Or will we need to dowload various drivers from the device manufacturers?
PLEASE let me know soon, since I will be receiving my Vista DVD next week, probably, and I'm anxious to install Vista on my Intel iMac 17"

It would make much more logical sense to pose your question to the Vendor responsible for Boot Camp. I don't think Microsoft wrote the program, so it is not logical to expect Microsoft to know the intricate details of Apple's software!

Rick, I will be kind, and just tell you that Microsoft seldom reads these articles. They are too busy writing code.
This newsgroup is what is called "peer support" by Microsoft. Normally, users and their "peers" (other users) post here to get USER EXPERIENCE, not support from Microsoft.
This is why I posted here, anyway.
If I want help from Microsoft, I will email or phone their Tech Support department.
And if I want to read idiocy, I will open up CSMA (comp.sys.mac.advocacy) and read it. I really do expect better from Windows fanatics.
But thanks for an opportunity to waste 10 minutes of my valuable time, anyway.

You must really be joking!
You actually think you will encounter a significant difference between Apple fanatics, Windows fanatics, and Linux fanatics?
My experience is they are all about the same!
But, if it's any consolation, there are some EFI files on the DVD, including a cdboot.efi. Maybe that's what you need.

Thanks, Rick. I appreciate the empty time you've used to give me non-answers.
By the way, which Apple Intel did YOU install Vista on?

The last Apple I used had an 68010 or 68020 CPU. I don't remember which right now.

My original suggestion was correct. See the info on Boot Camp and Vista at: http://www.123macmini.com/news/story/481.html
Mac mini: Windows Vista Ready Tuesday, May 23, 2006 2:00 PM EST
There has been some discussion in our Boot Camp Forum ( http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=66 ) about whether or not the Intel-based Mac minis will be compatible with Windows Vista. Most of the discussion seems to be centered around Aero, the new graphical user interface in Windows Vista. The Aero interface features translucent windows, 3D perspective, animations, rich texture and more.
According to the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor Beta, Aero will be supported on the Mac mini, but there are a few requirements. You must have at least 1GB of memory installed in your Mac mini and 15GB of free hard drive space. If your hard drive doesn't have enough free space, you will receive a warning telling you what actions to take.
The Upgrade Advisor also allows you to test the compatibility of your Mac mini with the other features offered in Windows Vista. I am happy to report that the Mac mini will support all of the features listed, with the exception of those dealing with TV tuner cards and Windows Media Center connectivity. It will also advise you on what version of Windows Vista to purchase based on the features you select. And that, my friends, is where I called it a day. There is only going to be one operating system in my future. Think Leopard!
