If you’ve been waiting with bated breath to dual-boot Windows 7 on your Mac, your time has come. File under “better late than never“: Apple has now updated Boot Camp with support for Windows 7.
With separate downloads for 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows 7, the download also requires an authentic copy of Windows 7 or Windows 7 upgrade, and is only supported on more recent Intel-based Macs; no Macs produced before 2007 will support Windows 7, as outlined in this Apple support page.
If you’re upgrading your Mac’s other side from Windows Vista to Windows 7, you’ll first want to download and install the Boot Camp Utility for Windows 7, which “safely unmounts the read-only Macintosh volume on Microsoft Vista.”
Let us know in the comments if you have any issues with the update.
