Previously, users used the Boot Camp utility on Apple's Mac OS X operating system to install and run other operating systems on Mac computer hardware. However, the new MacBook Pros of 2011 was announced last week and the latest MacBook Air models do not support Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems even if Boot Camp is used.

Boot Camp facility is widely used with owners of Apple Mac systems to run Windows and GNU / Linux operating systems on Apple hardware. But the latest hardware of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air does not run Windows XP and Windows Vista. But users can install Windows 7 on the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers.
