What it did do is flash my graphics card. An Apple Nvidia 8800GT with EFI ROM. Now when I turn on my computer it makes the normal Mac gong sound but i have no display until OS X is completely loaded and I cannot get back into Vista because I have no display until I get to the OSX desktop.

4. Opened HSPL
5. Connected Phone
6. Let active sync do its thing
7. Tried to flash phone, it went instantly to 100% and said flash complete.
8. Looked at phone and nothing changed
9. Closed HSPL
10. disconnected phone from PC
11. did hard reset on phone
12. restarted pc again to see if that would help
13. PC = black screen until OSX is loaded.
I am, well was until now that is, running Vista x64 and XP x64 and Win7 x64 with bootcamp.

However, my MacPro ($3,000USD machine) is still out of commission.

Running windows vista 64 on a Mac using bootcamp is NOT using any form of virtual OS. The OS is being natively booted on the Mac hardware.
Its hardware is just like a windows based pc and that's why windows works on it and why Mac OS works on a windows based machine too.
It has 10gb of DDR2 fb-dimm ecc. 2 quad core Intel xeon 2.8GHz processors. Nvidia 8800gt pcie graphics card. All of which runs in native 64
Bit mode in windows or OSX or Linux. Mac has used the same hardware as windows since 2006.
The machine is a windows machine when in windows and Mac when in Mac. So when you ask why use a Mac? I say why not? I have never had any issue
With any windows software while running windows. Bootcamp is really just a program that allows you to easily add a second partition to your hard drive
It has no effect on the os.

I was able to get the original nvidia rom flashed and now all is good.
I was also able to do a HardSPL on a friends TP2 using the MacPro and it worked without a hitch. All I can say is it must have been some random freak accident.
Now that I am back in Vista x64 time to put the MightyRom on the phones.
