TonyLock Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Does Snow Leopard include BootCamp 3.0? No one at Apple has been able to confirm anything, not one at Technical Support, not the website or even the "Geniuses" at the stores. That's saddens me somewhat. Anyway, does anyone know if the new OS will include BootCamp 3.0 and if so, what are the new features of BootCamp 3.0?

bob_loblaw Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Snow Leopard will improve BootCamp with updated drivers and the ability to read (not write) the HFS+ partitioned that OSX is installed on (so you won't need a program like MacDrive).

TonyLock Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Fantastic :-) What are the new features of 3.0? I know it allows trackpad "tapping" (finally!) but what else?

The fact that it took until 3.0 for Apple to ship working drivers is almost inexcusable, really. But I suppose better later than never. So, other than Boot Camp actually working as advertised now, the only really new thing is being able to see your Mac OS X installation. You can copy information FROM your Mac OS X partition to your Windows partition, but you can't copy information from your Windows partition TO your Mac OS X partition, as it's read-only.

Guest sendmarksmail Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 1. Did they fix the ability to switch from 9600m GT to 9400m? 2. Has the battery life been improved? 3. Also, can the keyboard light be turned off manually? 4. Lastly, does the laptop still get super hot when running Windows Vista/7 compared to running on OS X.

TonyLock Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Also, does the iSight camera adjust for ambient lighting for the LCD screen? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/817262-bootcamp-30/#findComment-591503004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm overseas atm and can't really pick up a copy (unless there's an Apple Store at LAX!). The heat is actually related to point (1).

TonyLock Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 I thought the heat was related to the fact the fan can't auto change speeds in Win mode. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/817262-bootcamp-30/#findComment-591503026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 And the trackpad actually works ;) (I didn't test but I heard a few comments) And it supports 64-bit Windows completely!
