From that same article. It appears bootcamp hasn't added this very valuable feature Brotherly Love in Boot Camp Yeah, I know Parallels Desktop 3 and VMware's Fusion are all the rage. But I don't like Windows sullying my pretty little Mac world, so it's Boot Camp for me, thank you very much. Boot Camp with Leopard will add the one feature I really care about: letting me copy files between my Mac and Windows partitions. I can say good bye to my USB drive (aka USBSNEAKERNET) once and for all. Thanks

>>Resizable Partitions In Leopard, you can create and resize hard disk partitions on the fly, without having to erase your drive and start over. For people looking to create temporary workspaces for projects, or to boost productivity in Photoshop, this will be huge.<< Winston - Wow. I didn't know that had been added as an OS feature. Very cool. Of course, it's been possible to create/resize/delete partitions on the fly in both Windows and Mac OS for quite some time, but only with the aid of 3rd party utilities like Partition Magic (Windows) and iPartition (Mac OS). Both Partition Magic and IPartition cost money. And I hadn't realized it until this evening, but apparently it's been possible to resize Mac partitions on the fly without losing data from the command line since 10.4.6. See this article: macworld.com I must say it's been tiresome to see all Don's posts bemoaning the fact that the Mac OS doesn't include a feature that he says Windows has, even though a) Windows doesn't have it, you have to buy software to do it, and b) I've pointed out that such software does exist for the Mac. So now, OS X, which costs less than Windows, is giving us this feature for free. Would somebody please let Don know about that? And let him know that he could have previously bought a utility to do it anyway, just like in Windows? I'd tell him myself, but ... well, you know. ;-) - Allen
