This will also officially mark the end of Boot Camp as a separate application, as you can see from a note on the Apple support page. Apple has already removed the download page for Boot Camp, redirecting it to the Leopard features page. The download for the application still works though, so if you haven’t tried it yet, this is really your last chance. It’s worth noting here that if you’ve created installations with the Boot Camp Assistant, you will still be able to access and use them after Leopard; you just won’t be able to create new ones.

To remind you, Boot Camp is Apple’s virtualization software, which allows you to run Windows on your Mac and launch any Windows application. Easy to set up, it gives you flexibility to quickly switch between your Mac and Windows operating systems on one machine. It automatically installs all necessary drivers and you can even run Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows Vista, with it. Boot Camp is top download this week on Softonic, something surely not unrelated to the imminent release of Leopard.
