Run Vista on your Mac: Boot Camp 1.2

Boot CampWe know that you’ve all been eagerly waiting for today: the day when Macs can officially run Windows Vista. Thanks to Apple’s Boot Camp 1.2 update, all you need now is a copy of Vista. But Apple didn’t leave it at that. No sir, they just had to make other improvements to the Boot Camp experience as well:

  • Updated drivers for graphics, iSight, trackpad, and more
  • The Apple Remote now works with both iTunes and Windows Media Player (!!)
  • A Boot Camp system tray icon has been added (much the same as Parallels)
  • An Apple Software Update function for XP and Vista

Now that Boot Camp officially supports Vista, what can be expected to be seen from Leopard? Ability to dual-boot with Vista can no longer be added as a feature, so might we see virtualization in Leopard? At the rate Apple’s going we’ll never know.
