Had to use the stand alone update

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

I tried using Apple Software Update, it updated Apple Software Update to 2.1, but Boot Camp remained at 2.0 Re-running Apple Software Update only wanted to install Safari, which I have no reason to use under Windows.

Downloading the standalone version worked though. I had to make sure my firewall allowed it to install, then it ran normally, oddly all it asked was to uninstall or repair, I chose repair and it ran for quite a while, but when I rebooted, Boot Camp was indeed at 2.1

Haven't seen any real improvements, but no problems either. It is annoying to always have to reset my preferences whenever any update is done, but I suppose they reset everything to the defaults for compatability reasons.

Had to use the stand alone update - jallison1

Why on earth anyone with a Mac would want to run Windows is beyond me. ?

As a Mac user and regularly using the internet since 1992, I've NEVER had a virus or a trojan horse. How many PC users running any version of Windows can say that.

No Boot Camp for me, I'll stick to running on Unix based Mac OS X.
