Rune Windows software on a Macintosh
Boot Camp Turns Your Mac Into a Reliable Windows PC
Apple introduced free software that makes it easy to install and run Windows on the latest Mac models as a complement to the Mac operating system. With this new software, called Boot Camp, you can turn your Mac into a fast, full-fledged Windows computer for those occasions when you must run a Windows program.
Boot Camp (downloadable atwww.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp) allows you to “boot up,” or start up, the Mac in either operating system. You can designate which one gets loaded when the machine boots up. Or, by simply holding down the Option (or Alt) key while starting or restarting the computer, you get a screen showing icons for the two operating systems. Click on the Mac icon and the machine runs the Mac OS. Click on the Windows icon and it runs Windows.
Each operating system gets its own dedicated portion, or “partition,” of the Mac’s hard disk, so they don’t interfere with one another. Programs you install in each operating system, and files you create with them, are stored in the part of the hard disk devoted to that operating system
