Apple Boot Camp Assistant vs. Apple Boot Camp - Version: 2.1, 5/11/2008 10:49AM PST

I hae been unable to find any reference to an update to version 2.1 for APPLE BOOT CAMP ASSISTANT, which is what the software is organized under.
What is pointed to and downloaded is APPLE BOOT CAMP 2.1, to be installed while in Windows OS (and it has been and seems fine so far.)
So it seems to me that there should be 2 listings:
1. APPLE BOOT CAMP (Windows side) presently at version 2.1
and
2. APPLE BOOT CAMP ASSISTANT (Mac OSX side) presently at version 2.0
Please alert me to where I have gone wrong.
Thanks.

Random freezes in XP Pro - Version: 2.1, 5/2/2008 01:08PM PST

I installed 2.1 yesterday midday and have experienced random freezes since that time. The computer will freeze for 20-30 seconds and then continue normal operation. Most programs are not affected however if I'm running Skype during a freeze the call gets dropped.

Users of OSX10.5 might want to wait for a serious update from Apple, since this latest 2.1 upgrade does nothing to solve those two problems.
Basicaly, when using the Bootcamp installer as is, you'll be able to install Windows, but then you'll end-up with a disk error when Windows boots, because Bootcamp does a partition and only "fakes" the proper Windows formatting.
The manual says you have to format the drive in Windows instead, but it is very hard to do so (often the right setup screen doesn't show up) and if you succeed. Chances are you'll get the dreaded missing "hal.dll" file that will prevent Windows from booting anyway. And this one last bug is almost impossible to recover from, in spite of what some smart posts say in the support forums...
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU DO. BACKUP EVERYTHING AND PREPARE A HUGE JAR OF COFFEE FOR YOUR LONG NIGHT AHEAD :)
