New Apple Bootcamp Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mac-attack-is-back-jack dept.

eebra82 writes "Apple just updated their Bootcamp website with the release of Bootcamp 1.1 beta. It adds extended hardware support, including the ability to install XP on any internal disk, built-in iSight camera support, built-in microphone, right clicks with Apple key, more keyboard buttons such as Delete, NumLock, PrintScreen and ScrollLock. Numerous annoyances are no more thanks to motherboard updates, too. This release is 200 MB or so over the previous 90 MB install, which is due to heavier driver support such as included Nvidia video drivers."

    Vista Beta 2 runs just fine under BootCamp with a few minor annoyances such as very little power management so battery life is quite poor. I'm running it on my Macbook Pro that I use at work and haven't had any major issues as of yet.

    I used an external iSight on my PC. It's just a firewire camera, and it worked pretty well. The software I was using didn't handle the color balance very well, but the camera automatically focused and was okay. It did work much better on my powerbook though.
