My 2008 15-inch unibody MacBook Pro still has about the same battery life as it did with Boot Camp 3.0, which is just about two-thirds of what I get when running the machine with Mac OS X 10.6. Still, I wish there was an option to adjust the sensitivity of the device.Īpplications such as 3D games seem to run better as a result. Now, the trackpad works the same as it does in OS X, and I love how I can just click the pad with two fingers to do a right-click. Then, and only then, can you download and install version 3.1 manually or update Boot Camp by running the Apple Software Update utility from within Windows. Starting with version 3.0, Boot Camp makes it easy for Windows to access the Mac OS partition.).Īfter reinstalling Windows 7 from scratch, I downloaded Boot Camp 3.1 from Apples Web site but was able to install only the video driver from it.īoot Camp 3.1 will only install on MacBook Pro that already has Boot Camp 3.0. Run Boot Camp assistant from within OS X, follow the instructions to split the hard drive, then boot from a Windows DVD or CD, and install Windows just like you would on a PC. In reality, apart from having to split the hard drive into two partitions, one for OS X and one for Windows, theres no other reason why you shouldnt have both operating systems on the computer. It seems that Apple only wants you to use Windows on a Mac in a dual-boot setup rather than using it exclusively just as a Windows machine.
The only way to do this is by running Software Update from within Mac OS X.
