Been to Boot Camp

OK, well I couldn't wait for the final release of Boot Camp, so I installed the Beta version. It was very easy to do. I now have Windows XP on my MacBook! Once I installed mega anti-virus protection, I downloaded a couple of demos to mess around with to see how they'll run. I'm finding that the video card in my MacBook is pretty wimpy, so most of the problems I encounter are due to that and not due to Boot Camp. I'm playing Dreamfall: The Longest Journey right now, and I've had no problems! I was able to get the Thief: Deadly Shadows demo to run, but to do this I had to change the processing core to single from duo. I'll play that after I finish Dreamfall. I had problems with demos for Penumbra and Broken Sword 4, but that is because of my wimpy Intel GMA950 video card.

All in all I'd say Apple has given us a great thing -- it has opened up the library of Windows games to Mac users. How this will effect the publishing of Mac ported games, I have no idea. I just like being able to have more options now.
