Boot Camp without All the Pushups
If you keep your eye on Macs, you probably already know about Boot Camp. It’s a bit of a surprise, but I suspect it was done so that users choosing to run Windows can do so in a safer manner with proper drivers. The drivers included with the new software are the key part of this announcement.
Hacking the firmware to coerce a Mac into booting Windows took a little while, but it wasn’t really all that complicated. However, putting money into a development staff for Windows drivers is quite an expensive proposition and it goes to show Apple’s commitment to leverage the move to x86 to their full benefit. They can easily scoop up fence sitters that afraid of losing the ability to run Windows.
It’s a bold move and I’m a fan.
This was an obvious and uber-brilliant move coming from Mecca, err, I mean Cupertino. Looking forward to the completion of the intel based line - then I can make a hard choice of what to buy.
