My Macbook that I use for Uni is setup to triple boot between OSX, Windows XP and Ubuntu. I am currently setting up the Windows Partition for some computer vision and neural network work I need to do for my degree. One problem I have had for a while now is the inability to install Service Pack 3 on the Mac, therefore I could not install Visual Studio 2010. Now that it has become essential for me I have finally got round to sorting the problem using the instructions from the Apple support website.
