Just a few days after the release of the bootcamp from apple, Lora {looks like its loren} (whatisnew.com) has installed the Tablet OS on the iMac and has a neat posting from there.
Actually, the installation process is very similar to that described in the Boot Camp documentation. There are two exceptions, however. For instance, I used a Tablet PC OS Windows XP disc and not the standard Windows XP CD. Apple indicates that Boot Camp does not support this permutation of the OS–if I understand correctly, it’s because the Tablet OS comes on two discs and at install time there is no way to eject a CD and swap to disc two. This problem can be avoided, however, by creating a DVD image that contains all the necessary files (all the files from the Tablet OS disc one and two). I used Nero to burn a bootable DVD from the Tablet PC OS files included in my MSDN subscription. Then when Boot Camp reaches the step where I need to insert a Windows XP install disc in the “CD” drive, I use the DVD instead.
Oh boy, when will apple let us install the intel based Mac OS X on our UMPCs? Well apple does not yet have a tablet version (who knows what’s happening behind the screens) but it would surely be fun to play on an UMPC with Mac OS. Any takers…?
Thanks for the link. Actually, Loren has Windows XP Tablet PC Edition installed on the iMac. Loren is one of my brothers. We Ls get a bit confusing, I realize, but we really are different people
