I am, my Macbook Pro has two partitions (set up using boot camp). One has Snow Leopard the other has Windows 7, it should be no different. All the drivers for your computer are on your Snow Leopard/Leopard cd. I also have VMWare which allows me to virtually run the same windows partition in Snow Leopard if I need to.

BTW, the track pad is actually very good however the driver support isn't so good on the windows side. Right click is easily done by have two fingers on the track pad and clicking.

really it depends what your doing, if you running windows using parallels or vmware you are basically running windows while running in mac. tThis means your computer is working pretty hard to run both at the same time, so you won't be able to do anything too intensive in windows.

Using boot camp means booting up directly into windows, it's like any other normal pc. I typically do this to play games.
