Apple Officially Unveils "Boot Camp" For OS X and Windows XP Booting
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 07:33 AM
"More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today. Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data, though you will need to bring your own copy to the table, as Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.(1) Boot Camp will burn a CD of all the required drivers for Windows so you don't have to scrounge around the Internet looking for them."
Well I'll be...! This wasn't something I was expecting Apple to do. It's not quite as revolutionary as them allowing OS X to install onto an Intel system (which I doubt they'll ever allow), but this certainly options up some interesting options for those that love Apple hardware but not the OS, or those that would like to have the best of both worlds.
