hope this link helps.

For what its worth i've heard mention of many ppl triple booting their MBP's.
for some its the unltimate dev box cause they can compile builds for all
their main targets.


On another note upgraded MBP's are shipping next week.
core2duo. 2.16-2.33 ghz, now dual layer dvd burner and fw800.

as far as wireless goes there are cutouts in the aluminum on the edges of
the lcd filled in with plastic where the antena's are. wireless works well
enough for me.  antena's run on both sides and If i remember correctly
whichever one gets better wireless is used for ethernet and then the other
side will be used for bluetooth.

There is a built-in camera and backlit keyboard which I'm curious about. Also, I heard that with the aluminum case the wireless is kinda crappy. Anyone have one of these?
