Can't find Boot Camp on updated MacBook

Hi all,
I bought a new black MacBook today - the updated model. Either I'm crazy or Boot Camp is not installed. It's not in the Utilities folder, Spotlight can't find it, and it's nowhere to be found on Apple's website.
I looked on the CDs to see if I could install it separately, but it's not listed as a bundled app, and I don't want to launch the MacOS X restore app on a new computer.
Could someone please check their system and confirm if it's there or not?
Thanks.

I'm on a new one as well, and I've got the same problem, so it's not just you. I'll try calling Apple in the morning if nobody else has an answer here.
I started a thread in the boot camp forum, also - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1213278&tstart=0

Same here on my new Black Macbook that I bought this morning.
I did copy the Boot Camp file from myMini that I upgraded last Friday. So far, so good. I'll post the results shortly.

Here are the results.
I copied Boot Camp 2.0 from my retail install of Leopard that was in the Utilities folder.
It ran fine on the new Macbook
2.0 does not create a CD, like the 1.4 beta Boot Camp did.
The Windows drivers ARE on the Macbook Disk 1 CD.
It's a good idea to read the Boot Camp instructions
The Windows partition has to be formatted from the XP install CD.
To eject the XP CD before the Boot Camp drivers are installed, plug in a USB mouse or
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
a Go to My Computer.
b Select the optical drive (D:).
c Click “Eject this disk” in the System Tasks list.
In XP's Device Manager, there were no devices without drivers (no red or yellow circles).
All seems well (so far)

Mine's missing as well! I wanted to do this tonight. I looked on-disc but it's not their either. Is there somewhere online to download it.

Hello,
I called Apple support this morning, and they guided me to the Boot Camp package on the setup CD - just put the Install Disc 1 in, then in Finder, to to Go -> Go To Folder... and put
/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages
in the dialogue box. There you should see BootCamp.pkg. Running that with all the defaults puts the Boot Camp Assistant in /Applications/Utilities/
