After reading everywhere that Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate will run Natively on the New Pentium Mac Pro’s 
With the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” processors, I decided to go out and get me a copy of windows vista, Well it seems that the Xeon processors are 64 bit so I got windows Vista 64bit Ultimate, and a 1TB Seagate harddrive to install into the Mac Pro, I love how there are no cables to get tangled everywhere, the new drive just screws into the draw and slides into the drive bay, 
Started boot camp and followed the prompts and to my dismay, Vista would not install, Did not like that I was installing it into the 2nd drive, After reading everywhere that this is a glitch in only the 64bit Ultimate copy of windows, I had to open the case again power down and yank the 1st drive bay out that had OS X installed on it and power up again, And to my amazement the install booted and the install process was easy from this point,
But wait Dont all Windows OS Need a BIOS, It seems not, Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate installed and is running without a BIOS, As Mac computers have dropped the BIOS idea a long time ago, So Vista runs Natively on the Mac and OS X runs on Pentium processors, Who would have tort this possible, Hmmm, Very Nice,
After vista installed I poped in the OSX CD and than the windows Boot Camp drivers installed and all was working, Me likes! Not only do I have the best apple computer yet but I have also the best of vista,
Bring on the iPhone! Cant wait!
Oh yeah and here is a screenshot of Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate on my Stock Mac Pro (With 4GB RAM) It seems that the Mac Pro only Scores a 5.5 under the Windows Experience Index, I have been playing Supreme Commander and I have noticed No Lag in gameplay what-so-ever, With everything on full, 1000 units per side and 8 AI players, I dont know what sort of computer rates at a full 5.9 But I am happy with what this machine can do, If all I need to get the higher sore is a better Graphics card than I may think about getting one if I start to see any lag in game play, But for now, Things are awesome!!
