    Umm... why would the MB and MBP not run Leopard? It's an Apple OS. It is being developed on the MacBook and MacBook Pro... you will be fine. As for Vista, I've read several people that have installed it on their machines and haven't had any problems. Just a few missing drivers because of course Apple hasn't released their patched drivers just yet.

    The only possible problem I can think of is that the integrated graphics on the Macbook may not be able to run the full Aero interface under Vista. Other than that, you shouldn't have any problems.

    Vista Aero Glass was designed to be run on a minimum of GMA950, X200, and Go6150. They are all shared cards, but they have the ability of using up to and above 128MB of vRAM which is what is required for Aero Glass at resolutions above 1024x768.
