Mac Bootcamp manage Windows 7 by the end of the year

In a technical paper, published on its website, Apple says an update of Bootcamp will be distributed "by the end of the year" to ensure the official support of Windows 7 on Mac computers. On this occasion, the manufacturer specifies what the machine on which the operation of Windows 7 would not be guaranteed:

- IMac (17 inch Early 2006)
- IMac (17 inch Late 2006)
- IMac (20 inch Early 2006)
- IMac (20 inch Late 2006)
- MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2006)
- MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2006)
- MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2006)
- MacBook Pro (17-inch Late 2006)
- Mac Pro (mid-2006, Intel Xeon Dual-Core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)






The new version of Bootcamp that will be proposed as updated in the coming weeks should therefore not include drivers for these machines. In practice, it is provided to wait before possibly install Windows 7 on a Mac? Insofar as the new Windows is close enough technically to its predecessor, Vista is not required: in many cases, the system installs and runs smoothly.
