[OSX-Users] Re: MacOS X 10.6 Snow Leopard now available

[Tom Hebbron]

The latest available on the Apple site are 2.1 (I tried these, they 
refuse to run), but Snow Leopard has boot camp version 3.0, and it seems 
this is needed for Windows 7. Lots of torrents of 3.0 drivers available, 
but I'd rather get them from a known good source than risk that.

Cheers,
Tom.
