Jobs Gives Microsoft a Big Wet Sloppy

Apple has released a new update to its Boot Camp software that will now support Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system.

The latest 138MB download of the Boot Camp 1.2 beta is now available through the Cupertino, Calif.-based company's Web site.

The Boot Camp software allows Intel-based Macs to run Windows. In addition to having an Intel-based Mac, beta requires the user to have at least Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.6 or a later version of the company's operating system.

The full release of Boot Camp will come with Apple's newest OS, called Leopard, which several analysts claim could be released sometime in April, although Apple has not announced a specific date.

The latest update to Boot Camp will support all versions of Vista, which includes Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. The software continues to support both XP Home and XP Professional.
