Apple updates Boot Camp
A new version of Apple's Boot Camp software is now available on the company's Web site for those Intel Mac users who wish to run Windows.
Version 1.1 adds support for Apple's iSight cameras in the MacBook Pro and MacBook notebooks, makes it easier to use Apple keyboards when running Windows, and recognizes the new Mac Pro systems unveiled last week at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. The update can be downloaded here.
Apple plans to build Boot Camp into Mac OS X 10.5, code-named Leopard, when it releases the new operating system next spring. Boot Camp allows Macs with Intel processors to run Windows and Mac OS on their systems, but you have to shut down one operating system in order to run the other one.
