Windows 8 op Mac met OS X-update
Apple heeft de 10.8.3 update uitgebracht voor OS X waardoor boot camp nu ondersteuning biedt voor Windows 8. Je kunt nu dus Windows 8 op je Mac installeren. Tevens worden er nu schijven van 3 TB ondersteund en zijn er nog een aantal problemen verholpen.
We schreven al eerder dat boot camp geen ondersteuning bood voor Windows 8 op Mac-systemen maar daar is nu dus verandering in gekomen. Wie dat wil kan het nieuwste besturingssysteem van Microsoft dus naast OS X draaien op de Mac. Verder bevat de update een nieuwe versie van Safari waarin het inzoomen beter werkt en plug-ins en bladwijzers zijn verbeterd en je beter kunt scrollen op Facebook.
Op sommige Macs uit 2011 zou het geluid kunnen haperen en dat moet nu opgelost zijn. Ook zouden de synchronisatieproblemen met iMessage opgelost moeten zijn maar volgens One More Thing werkt het nog niet foutloos. De MacBook Pro met retina scherm houdt het volgens de Mac Observer 20 minuten langer uit door de nieuwe update. Een volledig overzicht van de veranderingen die de update met zich meebrengt, vind je hieronder:
