Bootcamp 1.4 Beta Free

One of the big factors in Apple’s recent market share gains is the company’s successful transition to an Intel architecture, which among other benefits allows Mac owners to run Windows and Windows-centric applications. The company has actively pushed that capability among potential switchers, offering a free public beta of the Boot Camp software, coming in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, that will let users install and run Windows directly on their Intel Macs’ hard drives.

Apple has released Boot Camp 1.4 beta, a new edition of the software that lets you boot an Intel-based Mac into Windows.The new release includes these enhancements: Support for keyboard.

Apple has hardly hidden the fact that the Boot Camp beta license agreement entitles Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger users to use the Boot Camp beta only until Leopard becomes publicly available this month. But I suspect a lot of users who don’t read the fine print are unaware that their right to use Windows on their Macs is about to expire unless they pay for the upgrade to Leopard.

Clearly, buying and installing Leopard, including the upgrade to the latest Boot Camp drivers, will take care of the problem. But just as earlier versions of Boot Camp stopped working earlier this year, it’s not unlikely that Apple has an expiration date hard-wired into beta 1.4, the current version of Boot Camp, that will cause it to stop working not long after Leopard is available to the public. At the very least, Boot Camp Assistant will doubtless no longer allow users to partition hard drives and configure them for use with Windows. Will pre-existing Windows installations based on the Boot Camp public beta stop working entirely, perhaps later this year? We just don’t know.

If so, users who want a stop-gap solution before they can get around to upgrading to Leopard (either because their copy hasn’t reached them yet, or because they’re reluctant to be a 10.5.0 early adopter) should be able to access a Boot Camp-enabled installation of Windows using even a free demo download version of Parallels Desktop. This $80 virtualization software for Intel Macs initially worked only with proprietary disk image formats holding a Windows installation, but more recent versions support Windows partitions created with Boot Camp Assistant.

UpcomingExpiration of Boot Camp Does Not Mean Windows Will Stop Running on OS X10.4 Macs

Low End Mac and others have reported on Apple's recent reminderthat the Boot Camp Beta is set to expire when OS X 10.5 'Leopard' shipslater in October. The company noted that version 1.2 or earlier of BootCamp expired on September 30, 2007, so anyone using Boot Camp to dualboot between Windows (XP or Vista) and Mac OS X on an Intel Mac shouldupdate to the current beta 1.4.
At the same time, that version -as had been previously announced - expires when Leopard 'is availableto the public'. At that point, according to Apple's support note, 'tocontinue using Boot Camp . . . upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard'.

TheSoftware License Agreement displayed when installing Boot Camp states:'The term of this License . . . will terminate automatically withoutnotice from Apple upon the next commercial release of the AppleSoftware, or December 31, 2007, whichever occurs first. (It also notes[in all caps] that 'THE APPLE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THEOPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATIONSYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES OR OTHEREQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE APPLE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD TODEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.')
Whilemany owners of Intel-based Macs who have used the Boot Camp beta toinstall Windows are probably planning to upgrade to Leopard as soon aspossible, Apple's announcement is not clear on what will actuallyhappen to current Boot Camp users who are still running OS X 10.4 afterthe Leopard release date (or December 31).
If you have used BootCamp (any version) to create a Windows partition on your Mac's harddrive and installed Windows onto it, that dual-boot setup shouldcontinue to work after Leopard's release, just as installations createdwith Boot Camp Beta 1.2 or earlier continue to work even though thoseversions have officially expired.

What may stop working is the Boot Camp Assistant Beta program, whichruns under Mac OS X.

The Boot Camp Assistant utility has three functions:

Itcan be used to burn a Windows drivers disc, used after installingWindows to provide better support for the video display, network, andsound adapters, and for functions on your Mac keyboard and iSightcamera that are not standard in Windows.
It can be used tonondestructively partition your Mac hard drive to make space for aWindows installation and to reboot to allow you to install Windows.(The image above doesn't include the partition option, since mycomputer already has a Boot Camp Windows partition.)
It can be used to remove the Windows partition,restoring the space to the Mac partition.

Soif the Beta Boot Camp Assistant is no longer operational, you won't beable to use it to install Windows if you haven't already done so or toremove an existing Boot Camp installation. Moreover, the variousversions of Boot Camp have offered increasing functionality in theirWindows drivers; the 1.4 version, for example, gave Windows users theability to make use of the Eject key on their Mac keyboard, among otherimprovements.

As a result, if you're using an earlier versionof Boot Camp, it's well worth the time and effort of downloading the347 MB final Beta 1.4 Boot Camp version.Install it , and use it to create a new Windows driver CD, boot toWindows, and install the current drivers - before Apple's deadline.
Therehas been some speculation that following the Leopard release, Applemight release a for pay standalone Boot Camp version for use by OS X10.4 users. There's no word on that, and Apple's note does tell BootCamp users that they will have to upgrade to Leopard.
But until you make the move to Leopard (if ever), your current Windowsinstallation should continue to run.
