Apple Boot Camp 1.2 Beta Review

Almost exactly a year ago, I reviewed Apple's Boot Camp, an intriguing beta solution for dual booting an Intel-based Mac between Mac OS X "Tiger" and Windows XP. At the time, Apple said that Boot Camp was a publicly available beta of a future feature of Mac OS X "Leopard," the next version of Mac OS X. Since then, Apple updated the original Boot Camp a few times in minor ways, but delayed Leopard. (It's now expected in mid-2007.) Last week, the company unexpectedly released Boot Camp 1.2 Beta, adding compatibility with Windows Vista and better hardware support. I hadn't expected to see Vista support in Boot Camp until Leopard shipped.
