Would have FlightGear OSX Released By Now But…

I would have FlightGear 0.9.10 for Mac OS X released by now. I was in the process of building universal frameworks for PLIB and SimGear and had fixed the blocking bugs in RenderTexture, but then I changed a system library and now the entire system is hosed. My Mac is now unusable and it will probably be mid-May before I get it fixed because that’s when the device is coming that I need to fix it.

Well such is life. Sometimes more than one Mac would be nice.

Apple’s Boot Camp

Launched today, Apple Boot Camp. What’s next, Apple ditching Mac OS X and preinstalling Windows on Apple computers? I think I’m going to switch completely to Linux soon.

Boot Camp allows you to dual-boot Windows XP and Mac OS X on the same machine without losing data. It even provides all the Windows drivers for stuff like graphics and sound.

I assume it works be resized the hard disk partitions and creating some. Related, Apple released a firmware update that adds legacy BIOS support to Intel macs.
