Attention folks who like a little Windows with their Macs, Apple has just updated the Boot Camp beta to 1.4. Boot Camp, you will recall, is...

It's a long story but I'm great difficulty in getting hold of Boot Camp 1.4 now that Apple have pulled the plug as a free download. I'm loathed to fork out £85 to buy it as part od Leopard. Does anyone out there have a copy I can have - I'll be eternally grateful.

Sam, Steven:
From http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303575:
"Tip: To perform a right-click action, hold the right Command key while tapping the trackpad button."
Also, I don't think Boot Camp is responsible for the sizes of your partitions.. ;)
with new bootcamp 1.4 and updating vista drivers, lost nvidia control center, so cannot adjust gamma or any other of the many video card options

That said, the gesture you describe has an equivalent gesture for button-only users - place two fingers on the pad and click the button with a third - and is, and always has, been the only way to right click under Windows on a Mac laptop. I tend to use a bluetooth Mighty Mouse though - which works perfectly under both XP and Vista.
Also, has anyone but me noticed that Boot Camp is getting absolutely ridiculously huge - on my MacBook, I had to wipe XP and make a 20 gig partition for Vista, which leaves me with a 36 gig Mac partition that's struggling to cope (less than a gig free atm!)

Can anyone tell me if there is now the ability to use the double-tap right mouse click in Windows...?

I wish "improved Boot Camp driver install" meant I could download them from Apple's website instead of having to burn a CD each time.
