Excuse me for not getting it straight! Apple's telling people and giving them a tool to install Windows. Those that buy a Mac with the hope of using it primarily for Windows and then they find out that they can't get some of the parts like the iSight camera to work in windows, they will think they're being shortchanged. No they won't.

Why? All they have to do is switch back to OSX and the camera will work. If anything, the only problem is that you have to reboot. The glass is half empty as always?

With it, Apple is already providing Windows drivers for Graphics, Networking (including Airport), Bluetooth, Audio, the CD Eject key, and the Brightness control keys for notebooks. Why would you assume that they won't provide an iSight driver in a later release? Even if they don't, people aren't going to boot up Windows to run iChat, are they? They'll just use OS X for that. But I think they will provide the drivers. - Allen
