Apple Launches Boot Camp
Apple introduced Boot Camp, public beta software that enables Intel-based Macs to run Windows XP. Available as a download beginning April 5, Boot Camp allows users with a Microsoft Windows XP installation disc to install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac, and once installation is complete, users can restart their computer to run either Mac OS X or Windows XP. The final version of Boot Camp will be a feature in "Leopard," Apple's next major release of Mac OS X, version 10.5, which will be previewed at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in August.
