I use a simple apple script app i made to reboot quickly and easily to bootcamp (where eve loads on startup)

would anyone else on the mac forums like me to upload it/share?

I have been dabling out of curiosity on simple apple development and if enough people are interested i'll fluff it up more.


but in short click the eve reboot app, and in under 30 seconds (5400rpm drive) your in eve on windows partition. no more annoying option/alt boots and the like.

on the technical side:

bash bless script which skips the efi boot and goes to a barebone windows 7 install. (eve then loads on startup automatically on windows side)


compiled it with the pretty eve mac icon too!

if people would like this aswell, i can provide source and/or make it snazzier/user friendly.

Hang on, I have a 27" Imac with the i7 quad processor, 8GB SDRAM and a 1GB card, I have vmware installed on my machine already.
I have windows 7 installed in the vm ware. You saying you have something that you just click and EVE starts up in windows in vmware?
I got vmware because a guy on another thread was saying that it works better when using windows/vmware than the regular mac client.
