Apple make new Macs Windows compatible

Apple is releasing Boot Camp software allowing new Intel-based Macs to run Windows, though Apple will not support Windows on Macs.

More Apple news, and the computer firm is releasing a new bit of software which will enable new Macs equipped with Intel microprocessors (which Apple only recently started using) to run Windows, should a user wish to. The new technology, being called Boot Camp, will mean consumers can run the Microsoft operating system on their Mac, rather than Macs' own OSX system. However, Apple won't provide technical support Windows being used on a Mac.

Apple marketing exec Phillip Schiller told reporters: "Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware now that we use Intel processors. We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch."
