    If only we now could get some true readings on what kind of temperature these units output.

    Now the only problem seems to be driver support.

    Nice! Would the same process work on the MacBook Pro?

    Yes it does work for the Macbook. I've been holding off a purchase of a Macbook until a Windows work-around was found. After the work-around was found I stopped by the local Apple Store. I loaded Windows last night on my new 1.83 MBP. I works fairly well, but has a little ways to go before it's ready for prime time. I'd give it a couple of weeks.
