Available on Apple's website.

According to MacFixIt:
Apple has quietly released version 1.0.2 of its beta Boot Camp software for running Windows XP on Intel-based Macs.

Apple has provided no documentation regarding enhancements in this release. The disk image download itself has a modification date of July 10th (yesterday) at 9:17 AM, but the files therein -- including BootCampAssistant.pkg, the installer for the Boot Camp Assistant -- carries a modification date of June 19th.

The new release is available as a standalone download from Apple's Boot Camp page.

do we think there could possibly be updated drivers for stuff like Graphics card? Is it possible in boot camp to just burn the driver CD ?

Yeah how do bootcamp updates work? Do I have to remove my partition and reinstall everything with this update or do I even need to update?

bootcamp doesnt manage the working of windows after its installed. All it does is partition the hard drive and make sure windows boots from the CD when you install it. After that you can remove, or update bootcamp all you like...

I'm pretty sure it's also at least responsible for the "Choose your OS" prompt you get. So, I don't think you can remove it...

isnt the ALT key holding what usually happens if you partition your disk anyway ? ie having two os x partitions so you can boot into (for whatever reason) two different os x's

Just to confirm, you can happily upgrade bootcamp to 1.0.2 without your Windows partition getting b0rked!

I know this, as I am posting from Windows after upgrading to BC 1.0.2

You download the new dmg and install it, then burn the new drivers CD and install that inside Windows.

yeah what chucker says - however i didnt bother to re-install the drivers as after reading other forums it doesnt seem to have new drivers, so a pointless update for me. I was just trying to let people know that bootcamps existence once windows is installed is not necessary.

Well I didn't go through actually comparing version numbers of each driver package, which unfortunately enough nobody else apparently has done either.

However, I did read reports that the iSight blue screen no longer occurs. (The iSight still isn't supported, but Windows now simply gives an error message instead, whereas previously, it would occasionally crash into a blue screen when the iSight was accessed.)

Still hoping Apple will release a 1.1 with proper iSight support.
