Okay, Apple’s a couple of weeks in making its self-imposed deadline, but no matter: Apple has just released update 3.1 to their Boot Camp software, enabling official support for Windows 7.
The update comes in two separate flavors — one for 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and one for 32-bit versions — and require official DVD copies of Windows 7 or Windows 7 upgrade to function.
Curiously, not all Intel-based Macs support the update, but only Intel-based Macs released after 2007. That means that my own 2006 MacBook Pro won’t run Windows 7 through Boot Camp. I have a netbook that runs Windows 7 happily, so I assume this is a driver issue, and not because of 2006 models’ paucity of horsepower.
You can grab the Boot Camp updates now over at Apple’s official Boot Camp support page.
