Now, we all love Boot Camp. It's the perfect way to dual boot with Windows right on your Intel Mac and we all know, Apple has provided a free beta of Boot Camp for Tiger users for the past several months. According to a recent support document posted by Apple, Boot Camp is beta software and it will expire. Apple claims that you will still be able to use your Windows installation after the Boot Camp assistant expires, but you will no longer be able to repartition your hard drive or burn the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows. They also state that if you want to ever use the assistant again for those said purposes, you'll need to upgrade to Leopard. The Boot Camp assistants 1.0 - 1.2 just expired yesterday, and versions 1.3 and higher are expected to expire "When Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is available to the public". Apple has been known for brining back newer programs back to previous versions of OS X in the past, such as when Apple brought iChat back to Jaguar for a nominal fee, but there is no word if Apple will repeat the process with Boot Camp.
Sorry if it's a bit rusty, guys. It's been a while since I've done this.
