A blog post that has risen through the digg ranks reports that a pre-RC1 release of Vista (build 5536) can now be i talled easily on Intel Macs via Boot Camp. No more me y i tructio , just a good clean i tall and (a arently) smooth ru ing. Reports indicate that most of the fancy schmancy Aero effects are su orted, even on a regular MacBook (Aero, for those who don't know, is a hardware-inte ive new UI for Windows Vista with a lot of flashy effects and Tra arency Everywhere%26trade; technology).
Microsoft has a ounced a Release Candidate 1 of Vista for September, for which we believe another public rollout and serial code registration proce will be available. Those who manage to get ahold of a copy of build 5536 will need a registration code from the recently-closed beta 2 offering in order to i tall it.
While we aren't quite sure how Microsoft worked around the EFI limitation in Vista (EFI su ort was axed along with many other features some time ago), but this Vista + Intel Macs development is good news for anyone who needs to build a and test we ites for Microsoft's new Windows version.
