Hs anyone tried a retail image on these computers? I do agree that it is the usual pattern that it should not work, but there was a lot of noise about the retail disks including support for hardware that had not yet shipped, and I think that that hardware list was basically the differences between a current MacBook and a MacBook Pro.

Yes there does appear to be support for hw that hadn'y yet shipped, namely drivers for hw only found in those machines, but AFAIK the issue is with the missing Platform Expert for the new machines. (Which is the reason Leopard doesn't boot on some older hw, leading to the speculation that adding back the missing Platform Experts may permit some older configurations to run.)

The retail disc presented me with the wonderful "OS X can't be installed on this computer" dialog when booting off of the DVD. Imaging might be more successful. _______________________________________________
