Something surprising came to my brand new Vista installation on a Snow Leopard Mac. While the deception of problematic Windows 7 boots on Mac came along (mostly due to the fact Windows 7 does not run on a single partition like pervious Windows installs and includes somekind of space very much like SWAP on Linux), the Snow Leopard disc came with a brand new driver that is much appreciated.
Yes, read support for HFS+ (and regular HFS I guess). So while you won’t be able to write to the disk, which looks more like a UNIX to Windows permissions translation problem than an actual write incapability, you can now read HFS drives!
I’m wondering if this isn’t a new Windows capability, but I doubt so.
