Intrepid Boot Camp users have found ways to run Windows 7 on their Macs, but Apple hasn't officially supported their efforts thus far. With the release of Windows 7 today, Apple has announced official Boot Camp support is on the way, and plans to release an update before the end of the year. The update may be Snow Leopard only, however, and won't work on some older Intel Macs. As MacRumors ...

Apple Boot Camp version 1.2 beta is out, with some Windows Vista goodness (unless you think that's an oxymoron). Boot camp now supports the 32-bit version of Vista, and includes a number of other updates, such as support for the Apple Remote, and updated drivers and documentation. If you've got a previous version of boot camp installed, you don't need to uninstall it or repartition your hard drive ...

MacScoop reports that it has obtained a document suggesting Apple will release a final version of Boot Camp for Mac OS X Tiger this Spring -- and that it could cost $30. At the same time, Apple will be launching Mac OS X Leopard, which will include Boot Camp, so if you want the option to dual boot two operating systems, you'll have dual choices: purchase a copy of Boot Camp or upgrade to Leopard. ...

Parallels Desktop, in my humble opinion, is a killer virtualization app that allows you to run virtually any OS, and even multiple OSes, in their own environments within Mac OS X. We've been following Parallels Desktop's development pretty closely over on TUAW, and today a new beta has been released with some rocking new features, including: Booting a Boot Camp Windows XP installation, ...

Apple released a new version of Boot Camp on Monday. The 143 MB Boot Camp is Apple's software that lets Intel Macs run Microsoft Windows. This new version adds support for Intel based Macs, with easier partitioning using presets. Apple has also built support for iSight, microphones, and USB modems into the new 1.1.2 version. I guess the most interesting and important new addition to Boot Camp is ...

Mac Virtualization software Parallels allows OS X users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, much in the same way as VMware does for Windows, and has been building a solid reputation as a good alternative to Apple's Boot Camp, which allows a Mac owner to install Windows, but requires dual-booting and a separate partition. But what if you've been Boot Camping for awhile but want to ...

Some users are more than a little upset that Boot Camp, the program Apple released last week to make booting Windows XP on Intel Macs, is rendering their OS X partitions inoperable. The software is, of course, intended to enable dual-booting between Windows and OS X, but some users reporting on Apple's support forums that after installing Windows they're unable to return to Apple's OS. A few users ...

So you've put Windows XP on your Mac. What now? As someone who has to constantly switch between the two, I have a few tips. There are problems inherent in dual-booting, as opposed to running a virtual machine inside another OS (virtualization has its own issues of course). The big one for me is the issue of data storage. While I need to use USB memory sticks at work to move data from my iBook to a ...

What with the advent of Boot Camp, booting Windows XP on a new Intel Mac has become all but passé, but what about Windows Vista? Over at the OSx86 Project forums they're working on it, with a modicum of success. I'm not at all clear on the technical details--and I suggest you do a little more research than I have before attempting--but apparently the Vista installer tries to eliminate the ...

I come back from a walk in the park with my son, and what do I find? Apple has released Boot Camp, a tool for installing Windows XP on Macs. Sure, someone else beat them to the punch, but this is highly unusual for two reasons. One, Apple almost never releases a public beta (at least, not for free, as in OS X). Two, this is pretty much saying, "we know you still need Windows for stuff." ...
