i have a macbook, have had since the first week they came out. I usually just flash via the sd card because its easiest. I do also have xp and windows 7 running via parallels and most of the time the RUU fails when trying to flash, although parallels is good its not perfect, most of the kitchens fail to run. Boot Camp is a good way to go especially if you use windows alot as the parallels emulation is not perfect.

Love my mac always have, i work with windows every day (IT Manager) and my mac doesn't see half the problems of windows.

+1 for Missing Sync works very well i have started using the Microsoft my phone app now seeing as i flash so often its nice just to flash and run while its downloading all my txts and contacts.
