Windows 7 "Abso-f#$ing-lutely" launching today, BootCamp support en route

Windows 7 is now officially shipping and Microsoft’s got some new ads out.  

Separately, Apple has released a Knowledge Base article detailing support for Windows 7 on Bootcamp before the end of the year.  While Apple’s full support makes installation easier, many have had luck installing Windows 7 RTM on BootCamp partitions already (see Giz Post).  Interestingly, Apple lists a slew of Macs which "won’t be supported" on Windows 7, all released in 2006.

A far more popular method of running Windows on Mac hardware is on virtualization either through the free (but limited) VirtualBox software or by $40 Parallels or the new $67 VMWare Fusion.
