Has anybody tried? I have a macbook pro 13 and it does not have a slot for it but i would do that for one of my friends.

The upgrade is painless and only requires a restart.

Yes, it does work.

If you want to use that fine hardware with that crapicalystic OS, just for the bling-bling, i do recommend you to buy one of those PC laptops with dual screen, you can display on the second screen what ever makes you happy (windows logo, flag of a country, a pony, a picture of Luis Miguel, etc…)

Has anybody ever made a custom MacBook top shell that has a glowing windows symbol on the lid instead of an apple?! Coz I want one! Let me know! peanut is mint at gmail dot com.
