Apple Bootcamp now unavailable, Leopard release imminant

Screengrab_2 For no specific reason, most Mac users seem to be looking forward to the release of the brand new OS X operating system, Leopard, which is on-sale from 6pm on the 26th of October 2007. For instance, it has been reported that the pre-orders for Leopard are in excess of twice those of the pre-orders for the current operating system, Tiger.

It's not all good news though. Apple Bootcamp, the superb tool that enabled Mac users to use Windows XP or Vista on their Macs, at native speeds, has been made unavailable from Apple and you'll now need to wait until Leopard - which includes the final release of Bootcamp - to install and use the latest version. Apple Bootcamp was always in beta and the official license 'expired' when Leopard was due to ship.

Don't tell anyone, but the direct link to Apple Bootcamp 1.4 (the last beta available) is still active. If you're planning on getting Leopard for Xmas and haven't yet installed Bootcamp 1.4 beta, get it whilst you can!
