Apple released Boot Camp 1.3 Beta

Apple released a new version 1.3 of Boot Camp but it is still a public beta. Boot Camp 1.3 is available for download from this Apple Web page.

According to Apple, Boot Camp 1.3 beta includes:

• Support for keyboard backlighting (MacBook Pro only)
  
• Apple Remote pairing
  
• Updated graphics drivers
  
• Improved Boot Camp driver installer
  
• Improved international keyboard support
  
• Localization fixes
  
• Updated Windows Help for Boot Camp
  

If you previously installed Boot Camp beta, you can easily update to Boot Camp 1.3 beta. You don't need to partition your hard drive again (unless you want to change its size) or reinstall your Macintosh and Windows software or documents, but it's very important to update the Boot Camp Assistant software, create a new Mac Drivers CD and install the updated software it contains onto Windows. Complete instructions are provided in the Installation and Setup Guide included with the Boot Camp 1.3 beta software. [Bill Fox]
