etc: Windows 7 now supported on Boot Camp

Apple didn’t meet its target date to bring Windows 7 support to Boot Camp by the end of 2009, but now that it’s out who really minded the delay? Quoted from macnn:

Apple has released several Boot Camp and firmware updates designed for 64-bit or 32-bit versions of Windows 7. Boot Camp 3.1 adds full support for Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate. The update addresses issues involving trackpads and the red LED for digital audio, while the company’s wireless keyboard and Magic mouse are also now supported. For users planning to transition from Windows Vista to 7, a separate utility ensures that the Macintosh volume will safely unmount on Vista.
