Apple lets Windows camp on Intel Macs

摘要

On April 5, just days after the company turned 30, Apple surprised everyone by introducing Boot Camp: public-beta software for Mac OS X that lets users of Intel Macs boot directly into Microsoft Windows XP. While the move may contradict previous statements by Apple, the company said it still has no intention of fully supporting Windows on the Mac. "After we released the Intel-based Macs we had a lot of customer requests asking if it's possible to run Windows on those machines," Brian Croll, Apple's senior director of Software Product Marketing, told Macworld. "We decided we would help it along by creating Boot Camp."
