Apple Releases Boot Camp 1.1

Native American is a more appropriate term....

Native Americans living in India? Wow

 

[SiliconAddict]

Beg like a dog? I didn't even have to explain myself. I just spoke to a nice Indian lady, read her my Activation ID, and she read the new one back to me. That was it. No questions, no nothing.

You are lucky. You actually got to a nice rep. I CAN tell you horror stories.

Not if she's Indian.

I have installed my copy of XP over 25 times since I have owned it. They simply ask you how many computers its installed on and I tell them one. No problem.

People are posting on the Parallels forums that they've extracted the Boot Camp 1.1 iSight driver, and it still does not work (does not make the iSight work under Windows/Parallels). Bummer!

Minor point, but

I don't understand the disclaimer about Apple "quietly" announcing software/hardware/whatever updates. Adverbs like "quietly" imply a judgment on behalf of the writer that may not be implicit on behalf of the company in question.

Apple posted the update on its Web site, and the last I heard, more than a few people know about http://www.apple.com. Unless the update was made available on http://www.orange.com , I can't figure out what point you're trying to make.

Part of the problem with this style of writing is its "approximation" of real writing. All that needs to be said is "Apple today released ...." That statement tells everything the reader needs to know without conveying the writer's inflated sense of self, as if to say, "Apple tried to sneak one passed you, but I'm smart enough to have caught wind of it."

dlink router inoperable

I'm having a problem that I thought would be fixed by the new drivers. I cannot connect to my d-Link wireless router. It tells me that the connection fails. I can connect to it just fine in the mac os, and I can connect to other routers with windows, but I cannot connect to my dlink router. Anyone had this experience?

mac 2005,
Are you aware that you are carrying on a tradition of attributing a quote to Ben Franklin that he never actually said?

 

[shadowmoses]

Does anyone know or test out if this update supports external USB or Firewire Hard Drives?

eum... I'm pretty sure he meant indian as in from India.

If you mean to boot from, don't count on that ever getting supported. Unless Vista changes how the low-level USB/FW drivers are handled...

Given that Microsoft has abandoned EFI support in Vista (32 bit at least) I somehow doubt it...

Support?

Hey, just wondering if anyone here has tried BootCamp with Vista Beta? Also does anyone know if Vista will be fully supported in the Final version of Boot Camp?

Thanks

They didn't put out a press release.

No. Please explain.

I am more than willing to be wrong, but if your "source" is WikiPedia (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin), please tell me you have a source to back your claim. I'll happily change my quote or correct the attribution, but not on the merits of anything WikiPedia-related.

I also quite like the BF quote: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Would that quote also be in dispute?

Actually the Wikipedia entry on this is sourced:

http://www.futureofthebook.com/stories/storyReader$605

The main point they make there is more that the quote you are using is, at best, not completely accurate, but is instead a variant of the original phrase.

There does seem to be some question though about whether it is actually written by Franklin or not:

I also purchased the 10 volume Collected Works of Franklin edited by Jared Sparks, published in 1840. In volume VII there is a letter that Franklin wrote to his friend David Hume 27 September, 1760, in which he says, in response to Hume's praise of the Historical Review, that it was "not written by me, nor any part of it," except for one small section and some of the text attributed to the Assembly when he was serving there. Sparks adds a page long footnote detailing who supported the contention that Franklin was the author, and concludes that it was published under Franklin's direction and with his approval. In his autobiography, Franklin says that he was the publisher.� It is now believed that Richard Jackson was the author, with Franklin doing some tweaking.

Note that Wikipedia actually SUPPORTS you, saying that it is most likely actually a Franklin quote (and arguing that this is further supported by another similar Franklin proverb: ""Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.")

I'm completely new with BootCamp.
What about drivers for e.g. Radeon 1900? Can I use normal ATI Windows Catalyst driver or do I have to use the Apple VGA driver?
Thanks.

 

[whyrichard]

so... (it's late)... i don't need to reinstall windows to use the new drivers do i?

No you don't, but you will have to reboot at least once. I also had to re-enter my WEP key....

Wikipedia has been found equally accurate as the encyclopedia britannica, just thought I'd let you know

On topic, hooray for the iSight support, though I still need support for an external drive, 60 (55) GB on my humble Macbook is not good enough.

 

[Chundles]

Yes, but Wikipedia is still not a valid source, at least for research anyway. If I handed in a research assignment at Uni listing Wikipedia as a source it would be thrown out.

For sure - those who watch the Colbert Report may be familiar with the fiasco that happened after the term "wikiality" (and the fact that the African elephant population has more than trippled in the past 10 years) was coined.

Is bootcamp even needed? I just installed XP MCE on a PATA drive under the DVD drive and is working perfectly. I took ALL other drives out the the mac pro. There is no osx in there currently.

What D-Link wireless router do you have?

I have a DI-524UP and use it to share my internet connection between my Mac and PC. I am unfortunately still not able to convince my iMac to print on the HP 7900 Photosmart printer that is attached on the USB of my router. It drives me crazy that the PC sees it (

Works great! iSight can now be put to some use (no-one uses iChat in Australia) and the screen saver in XP is finally working.

EDIT: Date and Time now stay in sync and my MacBook can now go to sleep when idle in XP.

Boot camp is only "helper" software. The firmware update with bios support was what let you use windows on the mac. However with Mac's with only one internal drive the easiest way to partition your drive is with boot camp.
