If there's one thing that would make Apple's Boot Camp software for installing Windows on a Mac simpler to use, it would be the elimination of the need to burn a disc containing the drivers that will let Windows talk to the Mac's hardware.Featured Whitepaper

"When you need complete compatibility, this is the best way to run Windows on your Mac," said Jobs. "This is a really great complement to Parallels and VMware," he added. "We've now got three great solutions if you need to run an occasional Windows application on your Mac," he added. "We love these other things." Despite Apple officials' statements to the contrary, there has been persistent speculation that Leopard would feature virtualisation allowing the use of Windows under Mac OS X without third-party software. Jobs' choice of words should scotch those rumours once and for all. Apple recently released a new version of the Boot Camp public beta, with improved peripheral support and localisation. Version 1.3 includes support for the MacBook Pro's keyboard backlight, pairing with the Apple Remote (so signals from Remotes used with other devices aren't registered), improved graphics and keyboard drivers, and updated help. The Boot Camp betas have been downloaded more than 2.5 million times.{moscomment} |
