Boot Camp for Tiger is officially gone

Eagle-eyed Apple website visitors might have noticed that Boot Camp 1.4, the Tiger beta of Apple’s utility to install Windows on a separate partition, has disappeared from Apple.com. From now on, the only way to get this feature is as part of Leopard. Of course, Derik’s covered this before (and the public’s reaction), but this disappearance makes it even more official.

Not to worry, though: if you’ve used Boot Camp — I know you haven’t, but just in case — your Windows partition should continue to work just like it use to. Remember, however, that Apple will ignore any problems you might encounter, and the Boot Camp utility itself will stop working.

Thankfully, Leopard is not far off. Only 4 days and 2 hours, I’m told…

Sounds like Apple pulled the old beta and switch.

When Apple advertised that their Intel Macs did Windows, they omitted the disappearing software from the advertisement.
