Apple has officially released the beta version of “Boot Camp” – software that will allow Intel Mac users to dual boot OSX or Windows XP.
From the press release:
The public beta of Boot Camp is available immediately as a download at www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp, and is preview software licensed for use on a trial basis for a limited time. The final version of Boot Camp will be available as a feature in the upcoming Mac OS X version 10.5 “Leopard.” Apple does not provide support for installing or running Boot Camp and does not sell or support Microsoft Windows software. Apple welcomes user feedback on Boot Camp at bootcamp@apple.com.
I have to admit, the idea of an Apple developed solution to dual booting makes picking up a Mac an intriguing option. Perhaps its time for me to make the switch. My guess is that many others might feel the same way.
