Apple’s Boot Camp updated to support Vista OS

iPod maker Apple has finally released an updated Boot Camp application. The latest version now is Apple Boot Camp 1.2 and it is available as a free download from the Apple website.

However, the application continues to remain a beta considering the company is still working on it to remove any remaining bugs.

Apple Boot Camp is an interesting application which enables an Intel Mac owner to dual boot between Mac OS X and Windows Operating System.

The application provides graphics, networking and peripheral drivers to make Intel Macs recognized fully by Windows. As a result, the user is easily able to work on both the operating systems without any trouble.

One of the most important feature additions in the updated Boot Camp is the added support for 32-bit version of Windows Vista.

The company has also added updated drivers for trackpad, AppleTime synchronization, audio, graphics, modem and iSight camera and support for the Apple Remote when used with iTunes and Windows Media Player.

Here is the complete list of added features:
Support for Windows Vista (32-bit)
Updated drivers, including but not limited to trackpad, AppleTime (synch), audio, graphics, modem, iSight camera
Support the Apple Remote (works with iTunes and Windows Media Player)
