If you are a Mac user running Windows XP/Vista or would like to run Windows 7, Apple has released an important update to its dual boot software Boot Comp which improves compatibility when running Microsoft’s latest desktop operating system.
Boot Camp 3.1 allows you to create a partition just for Windows so you can switch between either Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows. It also includes Windows 7 device drivers which improves compatibility and performance with components such as the Apple trackpad, turns off the red digital audio port LED on laptop computers when it is not being used, and supports the Apple wireless keyboard and Apple Magic mouse. Boot Camp supports the following editions of Windows 7: Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate. Enterprise edition should also be compatible.
If you are planning to upgrade an existing installation of Windows Vista to Windows 7 on an Intel based Macintosh, please make sure you install the Boot Camp Utility for Windows 7 Upgrade, this will safely unmount the read-only Macintosh volume in Windows Vista.
Boot Camp 3.1 is available in 64-bit and 32-bit versions and requires a genuine copy of Windows 7, as well as an Intel-based Mac computer.
