A graphical boot menu appears so you can chose which OS your Mac should load. Either you can select the system you want to boot from the Preference pane that the package installs into the System Preferences, or you can simply hold down the Option(Alt) key when the system starts up. If you want to restart into the other OS, then you have multiple choices. It provides drivers for Mac-specific devices like: graphics interface, networking, soundboard, wireless networking (AirPort), bluetooth, the brightness control for the built in displays (MacBook, Mac Book Pro and iMac), and it also installs the Apple Keyboard support on Windows, including the 'Eject' key. The Mac Windows Drivers disk is important after you finish the installation. This is the application that can start the Windows installer, repartition your HDD, it can burn a Mac Windows Drivers disk, or it can restore the startup disk to a single volume. The Boot Camp Assistant has just a few but important features. It also adds a new Preference pane into the System Preferences. The installation package places an application called Boot Camp Assistant into your /Applications/Utilities directory. The distribution package of Boot Camp provides you the documentation and an installation package. Installing a Linux isn't supported by the application that you can find into this package, so if you would like to use a Linux distribution on your Mac, you need to read some How-Tos. This version works with Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista.īesides these operating systems, Boot Camp can also handle a Linux installation, so its Boot Managing capabilities are quite good. This product has been designed in order to give you the possibility to install Microsoft Windows on your Macintosh, by using a multiple boot configuration.

Apple Boot Camp allows you to use multiple operating systems on a Intel-based Macintosh.
