Why can't I find Boot Camp 3.0 download?

Has anyone seen a download of Boot Camp 3.0? Not 2.2 or 3.1 just 3.0.


Thanks!

BootCamp 3.0 is part of the Snow Leopard installation disk and is not available separately.

if no other clear answer comes for my bootcamp and mac OS relation/restrcition quastion and no restrcition. like Mac os is old like 10.5 but we installed boot camp 3.0 to window part without upgrading Mac OS. it looks marketing issue. we need to pay time to time for Bootcamp while we upgrade windows part. mac os is becoming bundle gift. I think they should explain openly without making us trouble to understand. but anyway ,in general for new OS product every hardware suppliers offers drivers free of charge for few years later and phase outs. for my two years Mac pro while we use hardware mostly for windows. we expect it. Bootcamp should be seperated from OS all time.

Do as you please, I'm done with you.

Let's say this once again, and with luck you will understand this time:


As I said back in April, BootCamp 3.0 is not available for download. The only place it is available is with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. You must have a copy of the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard installation disk and install 10.6 on your system to obtain BootCamp 3.0. If you do not have the Snow Leopard installation disk, you will need to purchase one. Whatever you belive should the be the situation, there is no download.


You've now been given this information several times. I hope this now makes it clear.


Regards.

the differance between us. is you have a horse direction view that you only see just your front. please look around and will see what is going on, I am judging. I am askign more technicla question the relaiton between bootcamp and OS. but answers are " buy CD". it would be solution but I do not find it right. sicne when I buy Mac pro. ıt is promoted that we can work with Windows OS. but now I need to pay for Mac OS again and again for dirvers. it is not known hardware behaviour. there is problem. Bootcamp and OS should be sperated. even we need to pay for Bootcamp it should be seperated and should have low cost not linked to Mac OS.


On the other hand. for easy to have beahviour of Appple , there is another contradcition. even we pay for Bootcamp I should buy Bootcamp over internet even like Lion. I should not go any place to buy CD.

No, the difference between us, or you and anyone else here, is that we have been attempting to answer your question, whereas you seem to want to just argue with anyone who doesn't giveyou the answer you want to hear.


Again, and for the last time: there is no download for BootCamp 3.0. You MUST buy Snow Leopard.


I really don't care whether you like that, or what you think Apple should do. That's the way it is. If you want to complain to Apple about it, you can do so here:


http://www.apple.com/feedback


Otherwise, please stop arguing with us. We've told you what you need to do to get BootCamp 3.x. None of us here work for Apple, so none of us can change anything. Arguing with everyone who answers your question is extremely rude and ungrateful on your part.


There is no need for you to reply. I have no further interest in talking to you.

Dear Dave, I am sorry yoru answers make me so. I do not want your answers any more also. I also said same in my previous entires. and no need to repeat. Thank you for your answers.


I am indeed not satisfied with it and lookign for other solution or other answers. I explaiend it to you the reason why it should not be yours liek buy new OS. this si discussion board and I have option to accept or not your advises. and look for others as like what I need or intendent to be.


again thank you. I also send my feedback to Apple. hope I got the positive answer.


sorry again to all who says Buy Cd. no need to to answer me about please.


Bye

I like Apple solutions in general and use it. hardware is very good. Iphone/Ipad/pod hardware and software are all very good. ordinary solutions or products are not my choice. But I do not have to like all or accept all from Applle or can change my stile like while using windows to chnage macos easyly.

So I bought Apple to use Windows, especially after I purchased somethign and learn semethign new to me liek buy Mac OS each time is problem, as should be like everyone. I have right to complain lookign for solution and think that I should take it free as initial. if not I should only buy Bootcamp with reasonable price. it is the fair way. anyway my complain is according to few writers here that says buy CD. I wait Apple's answer and chekign internet if I can find free. there is soem sites that pretend to offer bootcamp 3.0 by fee. I could not trust them.


if I know buy cd cases from initial I will not compalain. or there is no any explanation at apple web side about how to get Boot camp 3.0 or if we buy Windows solutiosn we need to pay for new relases as purchasing new Mac OS.

Why can't I find Boot Camp 3.0 download?
