Boot Camp on your Mac
So, you want to run Boot Camp on your Mac? Well, here's how...
In the Mac world, the once unthinkable, is about to become commonplace--owning an Intel-powered Mac running Windows. When Apple first announced the news about a switch to Intel processors, there were gasps of wonder and some derisive groaning, shortly followed by eye-popping amazement at the possibility of running Windows XP and Mac OS X Tiger on a Mac. Once the idea of owning a powerhouse Mactel fermented, the demand for "when and how" boiled over. On April 4, Apple met the challenge and responded with Boot Camp--a beta utility that helps users configure their Intel Macs so they can install and run Windows XP and Mac OS X on the same machine.
While the install of Boot Camp is relatively painless, there are pitfalls users need to avoid. "Running Boot Camp" (Toporek, O'Reilly, $7.99) is an easy-to-follow guide that steps the user through the install and configuration process.
"Many PC users want to use a Mac but would hate to lose the investment in PC software they've made over the years," says Chuck Toporek, best-selling author and senior editor with O'Reilly Media. "With Boot Camp and an Intel Mac, users can have the best of both worlds."
