What a shame Apple didn’t release Boot Camp — it’s new software for installing Windows on an Intel Mac — on April 1. What a surprise that would have been.

When I saw the news this morning — via email from an acquaintence — I thought it was a tardy April Fool’s joke.

One curious thing about Appe’s Boot Camp page: it’s entirely in black and white, except for the Mac OS smiley face logo in a screenshot towards the bottom of the page. The Windows logo is conspicuously monochrome.

    yeah, i the Windows “logo” is just representative, i’m sure for liscensing reasons.

    looking fwd to the next PowerMac update! i’ll have to track down a Windows install disc to play some games & test websites.

    I’m won over! I think this is going to make all the difference! It’s the tipping point! I’m selling out!

    Am I stark raving mad?

    After installing the firmware update and boot camp (didn’t run boot camp assistant), it booted off the most recent Vista. I haven’t had time to backup my system, so I didn’t install vista, but it boots from the latest image!
