Monday at the WWDC Keynote, Boot Camp only got a little bit of screen-time. Steve briefly described a few features of the new Boot Camp. Even though it was updated to v1.3 only a few days ago, it will see another upgrade in October, with Leopard.

In Leopard, Boot Camp will have all of the drivers installed, so that you no longer will have to burn a driver CD. These include drivers for iSight, Apple Remote, trackpad, specific keyboard keys and keyboard backlighting. That is, if you want to run Windows on your Mac.

Next in line for the update is faster OS switching. To switch to Window, all you must do now is go into the Apple Menu and click “Restart in Windows.” This will put your Mac into safe-sleep mode. When you want to return to Mac OS X, go into the Apple Menu and click “Restart in Mac OS X.” This brings you back to the exact same screen as when you left OS X, and Windows goes into Hibernation. This makes switching between OS’ much quicker than restarting, making Boot Camp all that much more convenient.
