  • Hardware

    • MacBook Pro
    • Apple Magic Trackpad

  • Windows OS/Boot Camp

    • Boot Camp 5.2, 50GB partition
    • Windows 7 Professional SP1

  • Windows to Mac OSX "Mappings"

    • These tools allow me to keep my sanity by making Keyboard and mouse combinations I'm used to in Mac OSX replace their windows counter parts. Specifically things like cut/copy/paste and other editing key strokes, as well as things like three-finger window drag.
      • Trackpad++
        • This theoretically adds multi-touch support like 3-finger drag, but it doesn't work reliably, and may not be worth the headache. I'm still looking for a good replacement.
      • AutoHotkey
        • allows me to remap the standard Mac OSX keyboard combos to Windows equivalents
        • download my script here
      • SharpKeys
        • Maps "Windows Key" to "Alt key"
        • allows my AutoHotKey scripts to make the cut/copy/paste key combos work with "Command" key on my MBP keyboard
