It looks like Apple[3] might have taken Microsoft's recent video[4] to heart
after all. MacRumors reports[5] that Apple's support page[6] for Boot Camp
has been updated to reflect the fact that the latest Mac Pro[7] will no
longer support Windows 7[8] or any older versions of the operating system.
Although all the previous models appear to have retained Windows 7 and Vista
support, MacRumors notes that this could be the first sign of future Mac
computers shedding support for the aging software altogether. Mac users who
depend on Boot Camp might start paying closer attention to those Windows 8
updates[9] from now on.
