They are offering a full refund of all RP, and if you've been playing on a mac, you get a free champions bundle. (Which I've already bought.)

Guess it's time to work on that bootcamp install.

Took the time to get boot camp working on my wife's work MacBook this weekend.  Fairly painless process...the only tips I recommend:

- If you don't have your Mac OS disc, you'll have to hit up the Pirate Bay for the .iso download of just the Bootcamp 3.0 software.  Apple's too lazy to put it up for download, and the built-in software doesn't actually work when it gives you the option to download it automatically.

- After the partition's are made and your installing windows, don't settle for the format job that Apple did.  Have Windows reformat the patition itself.  FAT32 is recommended, as it'll allow you swap files back and forth between your Mac and Win sides.

Only other trouble I myself ran into was using Windows XP with SP2 already loaded.  SP2 can't figure out WP2 wireless connections, so I had to hardline the Mac to download updates and whatnot until I got SP3 installed.  Prior to SP3 though, first install the Boot Camp 3.0 software (either by your Mac OS disc or PirateBay .iso copy), reboot, and run the Apple Software update repeatedly to get the 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 updates.  These include all the drivers for the Mac hardware to ensure things are running good. After Apple is happy, then start plugging in the Windows updates.
