Yesterday, on the Boot Camp page for Leopard, was a few paragraphs about a useful new feature:

> Leopard brings a quicker way to switch between Mac OS X and Windows: Just choose the new Apple menu item “Restart in Windows.” Your Mac goes into “safe sleep” so that when you return, you’ll be right where you were. It’s much faster than restarting the computer each time.

> Likewise, a “Restart in Mac OS X” menu item in the Boot Camp System Tray in Windows makes for a faster return to Mac OS X. With Windows hibernation enabled, you can pick up where you left off.

Today, [that text is gone.](http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/features/bootcamp.html)

Anyone know what happened?

No Comments on An Environmentally Friendly Keynote

WWDC 2007’s Keynote just ended. What many people may not know was that the keynote was part of Apple’s goal to [become a greener company](http://www.apple.com/hotnews/agreenerapple/).

An example? Here’s the list of the “10 new Leopard features” from last year’s keynote:

* 64 bit
* Time Machine
* “Complete Package” (Photo booth / Front Row / Boot Camp)
* Spaces
* Spotlight
* Core Animation
* Universal Access
* Mail.app
* Dashboard
* iChat

This year, there was another list of 10 new features.

* New Desktop
* New Finder
* Quick Look
* 64 bit
* Core Animation
* Boot Camp
* Spaces
* Dashboard
* iChat
* Time Machine

Depending on your view (“Boot Camp” was a part of the “Complete Package” feature; Quick Look is/was a part of Time Machine), you’ll see that 60-80% of this year’s Leopard demo was recycled.

Who would’ve thought Apple would go green so quickly?
