Microsoft has just released its latest PC operating system called Windows 7. Apple announced that it will support Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate) with Boot Camp in Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) before the end of the year. This support will require a software update to Boot Camp.

In addition to the Boot Camp update, you will need the following:
• An authentic copy of Microsoft Windows 7 or Microsoft Windows 7 upgrade
• An Intel-based Mac computer
The following Macs will not support Windows 7 using Boot Camp:
