Apple has released Boot Camp 1.3 beta, an updated version of the software that enables Intel-based Macs to run Windows. It’s available for download from Apple’s Web site now.
Still a free public beta from Apple at this point, Boot Camp emerged as one of the first ways Intel-based Macs could run Windows as well as Mac OS X. Since then commercial solutions have appeared, including Parallels Desktop for Mac, CrossOver Mac, VMware Fusion and TransGaming Cider. All leverage newer Macs’ Intel microprocessor architecture in order to run Windows or Windows applications or games much faster than was ever possible using emulation.
Boot Camp 1.3 adds support for keyboard backlighting on MacBook Pros, and now supports Apple Remote pairing, updates graphics drivers, improves Boot Camp driver installation, improves international keyboard support, fixes localization issues, and updates Windows Help for Boot Camp.
