Peachpit published Apple Boot Camp Public Beta First Look

Ben Long shows readers how to get up and running on Apple's Boot Camp quickly and effectively in his new book, Apple Boot Camp Public Beta First Look (Peachpit, ISBN: 0-321-47377-9,$6.99). Unlike emulation systems such as Microsoft's Virtual PC, Apple's new Boot Camp takes advantage of the fact that an Intel-equipped iMac, Mac mini or MacBook Pro uses the same type of Intel processor that normal Windows PCs use, allowing users to now run Windows XP on their Intel-equipped Mac at full speed.

While most of the information currently available on Boot Camp focuses mainly on installation, in Ben Long's Apple Boot Camp Public Beta First Look full-color downloadable PDF book, Mac authority Ben Long walks readers step by step through everything they need to know to get Boot Camp running effectively, including how to find their way around Windows, how to get Windows working with some of their other hardware, how to avoid Windows viruses and Malware, how to share data back and forth between Mac and Windows systems, how to back up their Windows system, how to restore their Windows system and finally, even how to virtualize Windows using Parallels. With this Apple Boot Camp Public Beta First Look, readers will get a solid grounding in how to get Windows XP up and running on their Mac quickly and effectively. [Bill Fox]
