Will there be driver support for the 8600m GT under Windows XP?

Hi!
I would like to run Windows XP on my Santa Rosa Macbook Pro. I know that with Bootcamp 1.3 you get drivers for the 8600m GT - the thing is, that those drivers do not seem to be optimised, for the 3dMark 06-test scores pretty low (no more than 10fps in most tests).
Nvidia does not develop drivers for their mobile graphic cards. So the question is: Will Apple publish XP-drivers for that card in the future?
Or do I have to buy Windows Vista?
And has anyone benchmark-results using Windows XP or Vista respectively?
Thanks in advance!
Macbook Pro 2,2 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for the welcome!
I score about 2.780 points with 3dmark 06. 3dmark 06 didn't seem to recognize the graphics card, by the way.
Ran also Unreal Tournament 2004 and Dungeon Siege. UT 2004 ran better on my old Macbook (Intel Core Duo, 512 MB), Dungeon Siege had 20-60 fps (not impressive at all for such an old game).
So something seems to be wrong... hope it's the drivers and not the hardware.
Greetings!

Will there be raw support for the Canon G10 before CS4?

Not complaining, just asking. I'll upgrade to CS4 eventually, probably sooner if my G10 is not convered in CS3/ACR.

Some it is definately that Adobe wants to make you upgrade, they need the
money like all businesses need the money. Anyone that thinks otherwise is
deluding themselves. However, the other part of it too is that with each new
version of Photoshop they add many new features to ACR, not just camera
support but new features. To upgrade the old version of ACR the last one for
CS3 for example they would need to maintain two seperate code bases and that
is a lot of work, that is going to increase the possibility of bugs and
other problems. It is far easier for Adobe to do it once and that is it.
This is why Lightroom and ACR are by and large updated together and why they
share the same code base, they only have invent the wheel once.
Now I am sure there is little reason why Adobe couldn't just make 5.1 work
with CS3. But, that goes back to the whole money thing. I guess you could
say ACR is a privilage and not a right. You earn the privilage to use the
lastest ACR by keeping your updates current.
This time around however, I have to say that Adobe did something that I
approve of very much and that is they release ACR 4.6 for CS3 AFTER CS4
shipped adding support for newer cameras. I would like to see Adobe do this
all of the time. That is do one final ACR update for the previous version of
Photoshop after the new version has shipped. I see this as a sort of thank
you.

Likely someone does but Apple has not stated if/wehn.

Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.

Will there be a patch for the security flaw for iMac version 10.6.8.?

Will ther be a patch for the security flaw for iMac version 10.6.8?

What security flaw are you referring to? If you're referring to the recent SSL flaw, that was only present in OS X 10.9.

Is there any planned support for the "do not back up" extended attribute for iOS

Starting in iOS 5.0.1, Apple has introduced a new "do not back up" extended file attribute that will allow an app to store downloaded data into the application folder. Is there any planned support for setting this attribute within an AIR application or is there currently a way to set this attribute using the existing AIR SDK.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm wondering too. Without it, we can't build any apps that download content without the risk of the content being deleted.
Here's the background before Apple introduced the new "do not back up" attribute:
http://www.marco.org/2011/10/13/ios5-caches-cleaning
Fortunately, Apple addressed it after that blog post in 5.0.1. See bullet #4 here, quoted below
https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/data-storage/
Q: My app has a number of files that need to be stored on the device permanently for my app to function properly offline. However, those files do not contain user data and don't need to be backed up. How should I store those files in iOS 5?
A: Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new "do not back up" file attribute has been introduced allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up, which files are local caches only and subject to purge, and which files should not be backed up but should also not be purged. In addition, setting this attribute on a folder will prevent the folder and all of its contents from being backed up.
Important: The new "do not back up" attribute will only be used by iOS 5.0.1 or later. On iOS 5.0 and earlier, applications will need to store their data in <Application_Home>/Library/Caches to avoid having it backed up. Since this attribute is ignored on older systems, you will need to insure your app complies with the iOS Data Storage Guidelines on all versions of iOS that your application supports.
Now we just need Adobe to support the attribute in the AIR SDK. What do you say Adobe?

Will Apple be adding support for the pointer_lock feature in the Safari browser?

Various 3d games online are using WebGL (supported in Safari) but some are using the new "pointer_lock" feature:

Will Safari be adding support for pointer_lock in the near future? Here is an example of a WebGL interaction:

We don't know, and speculation is forbidden on the forums. When Apple announces it, then we'll all know.

When will Aperture provide RAW support for the Nikon D4s?

Just got my D4s and can't work with the RAW files in Aperture 3 ... It says 'incompatible file format'...

Wait and see, the currently available raw support is here.
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
But even, when the raw supoort for your new camera will have been released, it will probably only be available for you, if you upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and at least Aperture 3.4.5. The most recent Digital Camera Raw Support releases have all been released for these versions only: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1734
Give Apple a little time to do a decent job with the raw support. Your new camera is particularly challenging with the high ISO sensor and the excellent low light sensitivity (ISO 409,600). You will want that the raw support can deal with these new features properly. Last year we have seen quite a few threads with complaints about strange blueish or pink colors on raw images taken in low light for new Nikon and Canon cameras.

Will there be new firmware for the WRT600n

Will there be more documents for the ultrasparct1

hi, I'm a Hardware Engineer and very interesting in the UltrasparcT1, however, I find most of the Doc are written for the software engineers, and there 's seldom topic about the core implementation itself. I think the instruction simulator is for software engineer and the RTL code is for hareware, can I get more doc for the RTL code?

Yes, we (at Sun) are definitely working on that. We will release more documentation for OpenSPARC T1 and more tools "ASAP" ... so hang in there and keep your eyes open for announcements!
