Windows on a Mac ...
Apple Computer announced on Wednesday that it has released a public beta version of Boot Camp, software that allows Windows XP to run natively on Intel-based Macs.
Boot Camp, which will be included in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will be previewed in August at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference but is available for immediate download on Apple's Web site.
"Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware, now that we use Intel processors. We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement.
After installation of Boot Camp is complete, Intel-based Mac users can regularly choose between running Mac OS or Windows XP each time they reboot their system.
