Boot Camp Updated, More features

Apple has updated their wildly popular Boot Camp software (Click here for a video tutorial on how to install Boot Camp). The changes in the 1.1 beta includes:

  • Support for the latest Intel-based Macintosh computers
  • Easier partitioning using presets for popular sizes
  • Ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk
  • iSight camera support
  • Support for built-in microphones
  • Right-click when pressing the right-hand Apple key on Apple keyboards
  • Improved Apple keyboard support including Delete, PrintScreen, NumLock, and ScrollLock keys

I assume that Apple archives the Windows side improvement by updating the driver CD that is burned, on Boot Camps launch.

    “Ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk”

    Doh, I wish it allowed me to install on a Firewire or USB disk, since my MBP’s 80GB drive is mighty small.

    Adam: I hve the exact problem you do. What I did is I gave WIN enough space to install the OS, and then made sure it used the OSX volume for documents (By means of MacDrive)

    Large files and other documents, then I store on the Firewire drive.

    Does anyone know if I have to reinstall my OS in order to get the goodies of the new Bootcamp features?

    Just found out: Updating is very simple. Just run the assistant and burn a new Mac driver CD, and insert into the Mac while in Windows. The installation of the new drivers is automatic. Brilliant, you gotta love Apple.
