Apple warned Boot Camp Beta Users of December 31 Deadline
As users of beta versions of Boot Camp with Tiger, we received the following thank you note, warning and Leopard pitch from Apple:
Dear Boot Camp enthusiast:
We hope you've enjoyed the opportunity to preview an exciting new feature of Mac OS X Leopard.
With the introduction of Leopard, the Boot Camp Beta program has ended. The Boot Camp Beta software will expire on December 31, and Apple won't offer further updates of Boot Camp Beta for Mac OS X Tiger.
If you'd like to continue using Boot Camp, Apple invites you to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard. Learn more.
Thank you for your participation in the Boot Camp Beta program.
While the final Boot Camp Beta 1.4 expires December 31, that does not mean that your Tiger Boot Camp partition will no longer work. In fact, it will continue to work. Based on our observation of previously expired beta versions, the Boot Camp Assistant will just stop working so that no new partitions can be created, no new driver CDs can be made and the existing partition can not be removed. To do any of those things after December 31, one will have to own a copy of Leopard or follow these Apple instructions on setting back your computer's clock. [Bill Fox]
