Apple to charge for Boot Camp?

I wonder if they'll provide a solution to the "can't partition you drive because some file could not be moved" problem.

Currently the only way around this is to format the hard drive and reinstall OSX, not something I feel confident doing.

Because it's in beta at the moent they don't have to offer a solution to this but once you're paying for it maybe they will...?

I wonder if this is going to be a growing trend. Will Apple start offering parts of the OS as individual installs? Sort of a OS a la carte. I might want the core OSX without the iChat or Address book, will they discount the OS to say $100.00 instead of the $129.00? Maybe Microsoft would allow us to buy parts of their OS to mix it up a bit.

COME ON ERICA, READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE YOU WRITE POSTS ABOUT IT!!

free in leopard, $29 for those not upgrading to leopard to still want to use it.

you only have to read four sentences into the article... let's see a *little* effort at getting the facts straight.

To get full-screen in QuickTime is extremely simple. run this script: 'tell application "QuickTime Player" to present movie 1' I do agree that QuickTime Pro should be free for other reasons but it is ridiculous that full-screen is not easier.

If Apple includes EVERY driver for every piece of hardware inside of an Apple machine to dual boot Windows XP/Vista and have EVERY device working flawlessly... I'd give more than $30 for that.

I agree with JD, both about the lack of fullscreen in quicktime, and NicePlayer being the ultimate alternative. The lack of fullscreen mode in Quicktime seems to be solely there to force more people to buy the Pro.

As far as charging for bootcamp, well Apple may as well. Anyone who is going to buy a legit windows license on top of the cost of their Mac is hardly going to worry about an extra $19 thrown into the equation.

It's all moot, I gather. Bootcamp will be part of Leopard and anyone that wants it may as well upgrade their OS.

who cares, i will download tiger from demonoid anways.

I still content that charging $29 for Quicktime Pro is the stupidest decision Apple ever made. Really, its not the Pro that I care about, it does a lot more then what most people really want -- **full screen video.** Not even Microsoft charges $29 to watch full screen video in Windows Media Player.

Fortunately, NicePlayer (found it thanks to TUAW!) is a great replacement for the Quicktime Player--when you don't need or want VLC, of course.

It'll be just like iChat AV, which was shipped for free with 10.3 and available for $29 as 10.2.

"I'd be surprised though if Boot Camp were not packaged into Leopard because it seems like such an integral part of what sells Intel Macs." Since it's been announced like 2893 times.

Once the bugs are worked out, it will be downloadable off the Apple site for 30 bucks hm? Alright.

Remind me again what Windows is for? Video Games? Alright..
