Apple Boot Camp allows installation of Windows XP on Intel-based Mac computers. Update ensures the latest compatibility with hardware and software.
Recently, more and more people are jumping on the Mac bandwagon. To make the decision to switch even easier, Apple has included technology in their latest OS, Leopard, called Boot Camp. This allows you to install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. A public beta of Boot Camp is now available to download.
The process of installing Windows XP with Boot Camp is simple, and it won't interfere with your Mac data. However, you will need to bring your own copy of Windows XP as Apple does not sell or support Microsoft Windows. Boot Camp will also burn a CD of all the necessary drivers for Windows, so you don't have to search for them online.
Furthermore, with Boot Camp, you have the option to choose between running Mac OS X or Windows XP at startup. You can run Windows XP natively on your Mac, and when you're ready to switch back, simply restart and you'll be back on Mac OS X.
Boot Camp 2.1 has been updated to address compatibility issues with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista running on a Mac computer. It is highly recommended for all Boot Camp users. However, before installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), it is important to install Boot Camp 2.1 first.
In short, if you're a fan of both Mac and Windows and would like to use both on your Mac machine, Boot Camp is a top choice for a smooth and elegant installation process. The only requirement is a version of Windows XP or later.
