Title: Bootcamp updated
Post by: BFG on August 16, 2006, 09:28:54 am
Apple has  updated Boot Camp to version 1.1. (still beta) 

New features include:

• Support for the latest Intel-based Macintosh computers
• Easier partitioning using presets for popular sizes
• Ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk
• iSight camera support
• Support for built-in microphones
• Right-click when pressing the right-hand Apple key on Apple keyboards
• Improved Apple keyboard support including Delete, PrintScreen, NumLock, and ScrollLock keys


the ability to install to any internal disk is a biggy for me - so you really can keep your OS and your winxp shite seperate

Obviously iSight + Mic = the big consumer news; though I agree on what actually matters news.

true, its a real sign that Apple are working hard to get drivers going for their hardware. Im not sure what the status of bluetooth is under bootcamp but if its not done yet i  can imagine that might be high on the list for the apple mice and keyboards etc.
