“Come See Our Latest Creation…” »


Contrary to the TV advertisements, your Mac was just a plain Mac and not really a PC after all, at least not a Windows 7 PC, until Tuesday when Apple officially made Bootcamp 3.1 available for download. Nearly all Intel Macs are now capable of running 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows 7. The former is a 381Mb package, while the latter is 275Mb. I choose 64-bit.

Finally, my MacBook Pro is now both a Mac and a PC, and I have motivation to put Windows on it. Thank you, Apple. Some older Intel Macs are not supported:

iMac (17-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (17-inch, Late 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2006)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)

If you own any of these older machines, it might be worthwhile upgrading to the newer iMacs, or wait for the imminent MacBook Pro refreshes. This Bootcamp update is wonderful news for those who have been craving for Windows 7 gaming on their Macs. We can all ditch XP for good. Who says that Macs cannot run Blu-Ray?
