If you open the "How to install" document it says warning BootCamp Beta is a trail software or such, how do I purchase it if its not out? Does that mean when the trial is over everything on that partion gets deleten? Or just hidden untill the full version is out so I can enter the product key and then on remains un-hidden?

Also, how do I delete Parallels? Ill join it in 3 months once it has 3D support.

At the moment Bootcamp is in a free beta stage. The beta version should remain free. Apple has announced that the final version of Bootcamp will be available for free in Leopard and for a fee to Tiger users.

What about when the trial is over? Do all of my things get deleted? I might stay in parallels if you can create a boot camp partition, install Windows in boot camp, and then also run that same partition from Parallels so I can play 3D without restarting. Is it possible? If so wheres the tutorial for it? Thanks.
 
When the trial is over you can't use the program until you get a new key. Just get the transfer done before the trial expires.

As constant said, no matter how many times you ask the question, NO 3D will not work when running Parallels... You MUST restart to use BootCamp and thus the 3D support, or use Fusion.

As far as what I have read, the only thing that will fail is the Bootcamp Assistant Manager. This means that after Sept 30, 2007, we will not be able to use the program to perform new installations - all existing partitions will remain working as normal.:D
