I guess the final name is going to be Boot Camp since it used to say "In the next major release of Mac OS X Leopard, Apple will include a new technology called Boot Camp (for now) that lets you install and run Windows on your Mac." they have removed the "(for now)"

EFI and BIOS
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.

Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it?ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.

Awesome! I love "Boot Camp." It strikes just the right note.
Apple Inc. has released a significant update to its Boot Camp dual-booting software that adds support for rival Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system in addition to a half dozen other improvements.
The beta software, which will be included in Apple's upcoming Leopard operating system release, lets users of Intel-based Macs install and run Windows in addition to the Mac OS.
The 138MB Boot Camp 1.2 beta issued on Wednesday is recommended for all new and previous Boot Camp beta users.
Atop the list of enhancements delivered in the new version is 32-bit support for Windows Vista, support the Apple Remote (works with iTunes and Windows Media Player), and a version of Apple Software Update designed specifically for Windows XP and Vista.
The Cupertino-based Apple has also expanded international keyboard support, improved the Windows driver installation experience, and updated the software drivers for trackpad, AppleTime (synch), audio, graphics, modem, and iSight.
Boot Camp 1.2 beta, which is available for download now, also adds a Windows system tray icon for easy access to Boot Camp information and actions.
Would Apple have released this Vista compatible Bootcamp upgrade this early if DigiTimes hadn't reported false claims about delaying Leopard last week?

If Digitimes were to respond they would say it doesn't support 64bit Vista. I never gave the Digitimes report more than a slight chuckle anyway.
In your face Digitimes!
