Enjoy Apple's way of making your hardware obsolete, for no other reason than them wanting you to buy a new MacBook Pro.
On the Windows-platform nearly all programs are “backwards-compatible”. Or which program written for Windows 8 does not run under Windows 7?

Real Nice!

What about 2008 Mac Pro users? That will suck bad if I won't be able to install Windows 8 on my 2008 Mac Pro 3.2Ghz machine.. and its just as beefy and fast as my friend's 5,1 Mac Pro.. Is there a way to change using Pacifist the text file pointing to which machines to get it installed?

In other words, can I just add to the installer check file: MacPro3,1?


Hi, just to follow up on your question. I'm reading over the Bootcamp 5 FAQ now and it says your model should indeed be supported.

Says MacBook Pro 13'' mid 2010 is not supported.

Thanks Apple.

Ah, the infamous fine print. Well, that sucks....

According to the link Mackan posted two posts above yours, the 2008 Mac Pro is not officially supported either. Yea, doesn't look it's possible, unless someone finds a work around I guess. :(
