Boot Camp Finally Supports Windows 7 On Macs

Posted by timothy on from the just-like-real-boot-camp-only-nicer-colors dept.

Dave Knott writes "After some delay Apple has updated Boot Camp to support Windows 7 on Macintosh computers. They have also provided an upgrade utility that facilitates transition to Windows 7 for Mac owners who have existing Vista installations. The new version of Boot Camp requires OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)."

    You DON'T NEED this update to run Windows 7 on a Mac in Boot Camp. This update is more or less targeted at newer Macs that already shipped with Snow Leopard that are experiencing problems installing 7. (see link)

    Windows 7 installed on Boot Camp 2.0 in Leopard also works fine.
