Bootcamp 1.2 supports Vista
Ok, so i’ve just finished writing you a guide on installing Vista with the drivers for your MacBook. Today, Apple has just released a new public beta of its Boot Camp version 1.2 which supports Vista. Oh well, I hope my blog is still useful for you. Anyway, since I haven’t tried this myself as I am still downloading, the major changes since my unofficial guide as I suspected are:
- Its official
- Support time sync (dunno whether its between both OS in the same machine or not)
- IR received, now the remote control works!
- Trackpad
- I-Sight
- Modem
- Help within the Vista On-Line help
- Apple software update
Please note that you do not need to re-partition your OS or reinstall your Vista if you already followed the steps provided. Just install and all old drivers will be overwrited. I will hopefully let you know my experience.
For those being afraid not to be able to install Vista on their macs due to the purchase of "upgrade" version, don’t worry. Install Vista without the serial number which renders your copy as trial. After completing the installation, re-install again within the trial version and everything should work fine. Have fun!
