Leopard Boot Camp Gets 64-bit Windows Vista Support

Spendtastic dudes who splurged on the Eight Core Mac Pros revealed earlier this month have an extra surprise for them: 64-bit Boot Camp support. The Boot Camp install discs have 64-bit Vista drivers on board, meaning you can load up Microsoft's 2^6 bit OS with little to no problems on your silver cheese-grating behemoth. [Macrumors]

Windows on Mac Benchmarked: Boot Camp vs. Parallels vs. Fusion

The three methods for running Windows on a Mac (Boot Camp, Parallels and Fusion) have been around for a while, but Mactech's numbers seem to be the first we've seen on how the three stack up on Leopard. The results weren't that surprising. More »

Apple Bootcamp 1.2 Adds Vista Support, Other Things That Would Make This Headline Too Long If We Listed Them Here (Oops.)

In what may very well be the last update to Boot Camp before Leopard is released, this version 1.2 of OS X's dual booting software gives Vista support to eager plaid jacket fans. For people who haven't updated to Vista yet (XP users), there's also: More »

Rumor: Apple Charging $30 for Final Boot Camp for Tiger

Based on some documents they've snagged, MacScoop is reporting that the final version of Boot Camp for Tiger will run users 30 bucks. It will probably be dropping at the same time as OS X Leopard, which will feature Boot Camp natively. The beta version of Boot Camp currently available kicks the bucket at the end of September, so you have quite a bit of time to mull over whether you want to waste $30 on just Boot Camp or upgrade to Leopard and get a whole bucket full of new goodies. – Matt Buchanan More »

Apple Boot Camp 1.1 Released

Apple's updated their Boot Camp software, which allows you to install Windows as a dual boot on your Intel Mac, to version 1.1. What's new in this version? Well, beyond vagaries like "support for the latest intel-based Macintosh computers", which probably means Mac Pro support, there's the ability to install Windows XP on external on any internal hard drive, iSight support, microphone support, and improved apple keyboard support.

CrossOver Mac: When Two Worlds Collide

Macs and PCs and their software progeny have been mingling these days, and it's as weird as cats and dogs playing together ever since Boot Camp came on the scene. Now Codeweavers take this odd concept a step further with CrossOver Mac, software that lets you run Windows applications on Mac OS X without even needing a copy of Windows XP or anything else from the Dark Side.

Vista Installed and Booted on iMac

By now, everyone should be familiar with Boot Camp, Apple's official solution to getting Intel-based Macs to run Windows XP. Word from the OSx86 Project is that someone who goes by the forum handle AirmanPika has successfully gotten Windows Vista to install on an iMac. Since Vista is still only in beta (and won't be available until early 2007 for consumers), it does seem a little silly to go to all the trouble to getting it to run, especially when you consider that the current method of installation requires the deletion of the Mac OS X partition. There's also a few quirks, such as the lack of Aero Glass, but for all you "because you can" people, it's something to investigate. More »
