Interesting little plugin

Interesting little plugin there. I cannot test it or tryit out as of now but I do plan on doing such when 10.10 comes out to see if it is still supported. Nice job on the post.

Do you need

By Igna Triay

Do you need to have windows installed on your Mac before using the app? Or can you only use it normally? And if you can, if I installed games for windows, when I switch to that app, would the games work, without having to use wine? Any help would be appreciated. I am running OS El Capitan by the way.

No you need as the app name

No you need as the app name suggestes boot camp and windows. I don't think you can use wine.

Bootcamp Depricated

By Devin

Just a note, in the latest version of osX, El Capitain, bootcamp no longer works. The rootless security feature introduced in 10.11 prevents user-space applications from modifying the boot sector of the drive on which osX is installed. A note on the bootchamp developer site indicates that the script can not be modified to work around these limitations and so development has ended.
