Boot Camp 1.2

April 4th, 2007 by Will Tschumy

Tops20070326For all of you out there using Macs (myself included), Apple has just released Boot Camp 1.2.  Vista on my MacBook has always been very fast (faster than my Tablet PC, but that’s a story for a different post).  The biggest challenge has always been hacking the old XP drivers into working on Vista.  There are some good guides out there, but it was always a decent amount of work / trial and error.  It worked, in the end, but only after a fashion.  As a result, I ended up doing a lot of work in Parallels.  This works better, albeit more slowly.

I was really excited to see that official drivers are now out for Vista.  It works really really well.  My favorite part is the ability to scroll the window / element that has focus by using two fingers on the track pad.  This gesture has become so natural to me that I now find myself doing it on my Tablet PC, wondering why it won’t work.

You can check out Boot Camp here.

    I’ve been more impressed with VMWare Fusion, for what it’s worth.
