Intel_Inside_says_Apple.jpgApple Computer said Wednesday it has released a public beta version of Boot Camp, software that lets Microsoft Windows XP run natively on Intel-based Macs.

The software, which will be included in Mac OS X 10.5, called Leopard, is available for download now on Apple's Web site.

With Boot Camp, Intel-based Mac users can choose between running Mac OS or Windows XP each time they boot their system.

While Apple has prohibited people from running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple computer, it has never tried to prevent Mac owners from trying to run Windows on their machines. Still, the company has not been a large supporter of the idea.
