Boot Camp 1.2 supports Windows Vista

So much for that silly story going around last week that Leopard, the next version of the Mac OS X, was going to be delayed until October so its Boot Camp feature -- which lets Intel-based Macs dual-boot with Windows -- could support Windows Vista.

Apple has just released Boot Camp 1.2 -- and it supports Vista now.

Don't everyone rush to the servers at once . . .

Here's what's new in 1.2:

* Support for Windows Vista (32-bit)
* Updated drivers, including but not limited to trackpad, AppleTime (synch), audio, graphics, modem, iSight camera
* Support the Apple Remote (works with iTunes and Windows Media Player)
* A Windows system tray icon for easy access to Boot Camp information and actions
* Improved keyboard support for Korean, Chinese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, and French Canadian
* Improved Windows driver installation experience
* Updated documentation and Boot Camp on-line help in Windows
* Apple Software Update (for Windows XP and Vista)
