> More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice
> simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major
> release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows
> XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can
> download a public beta today.
>
>
> As elegant as it gets
> Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data,
> though you will need to bring your own copy to the table, as Apple
> Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.(1) Boot Camp will
> burn a CD of all the required drivers for Windows so you don't have to
> scrounge around the Internet looking for them.
>
> System manager
>
> Optional alt. At startup, hold down the option key (alt) to choose
> between Mac OS X and Windows.
>
>
> Run XP natively
> Once you=92ve completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at
> startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That=92s the =93alt=94 key
> for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs
> Windows completely natively. Simply restart to come back to Mac.
>
>
> What you=92ll need
> * Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.6 (check Software Update)
> * The latest Firmware update (check Support Downloads)
> * 10GB free hard disk space
> * An Intel-based Mac
> * A blank recordable CD
> * A printer for the instructions (You=92ll want to print them=20=20
> before
> installing Windows, really.)
> * A bona fide installation disc for Microsoft Windows XP, Service
> Pack 2, Home or Professional (No multi-disc, upgrade or Media
> Center versions.)
> The Boot Camp course
> Boot Camp Public Beta provides a straightforward means of letting your
> Mac run Windows. Here=92s how it works:
>
> Intuitive partitioning.
>
> Space maker. Meet the most elegant hard drive utility ever.
>
> * First, you need to make sure your Intel-based Mac has the=20=20
> latest
> version of Mac OS X and the latest firmware update. These
> provide technologies that make Boot Camp possible. It=92s also
> wise to print out the Installation & Setup Guide.
> * The Boot Camp burns a CD with the drivers Windows needs to
> recognize Mac-specific hardware. It is very important to do=20=20
> this
> before starting the Windows installation.
> * The software also helps you set aside hard drive space for the
> Windows installation, without moving any of your Mac files
> around. Just drag the intuitive slider to choose the size=20=20
> that=92s
> right for you. Boot Camp also helps you remove the Windows
> partition, should you so desire.
> * Next, insert your Windows installation disc, restart and follow
> the Windows installation process. The only tricky part is
> selecting the C: drive manually. Be sure to get this right, or
> you could erase your Mac files accidentally. Remember, Apple
> Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.
> * After the installation process is complete and your Mac has
> booted Windows, you=92ll need the Macintosh Drivers CD you burned
> previously. When you insert the CD, it will automatically
> install the drivers. Follow the instructions in the=20=20
> Installation
> & Setup Guide for helpful hints.
> * Don=92t forget to follow best practices for updating and
> protecting your Windows system (see =93Word to the wise=94 to
> right).
> 1. You=92ll need Windows XP Home Edition or Professional, Service
> Pack 2 installation disc.
