It came in handy in a major way at a prior job(entire lab full of iMacs that were on the wrong side of the divide, I think it was 32bit EFI, to remain among the chosen and the supported under OSX; but still just fine to run Win7 which was what we were doing at the time); but in general it’s pretty clear that Apple isn’t overly concerned with the date of bootcamp.
Not really surprising; given the comparative maturity of just virtualizing it; and the fact that they simply don’t have to care in a lot of cases; but doesn’t change the fact that Macs are way less exciting when the vendor is deliberately uninterested in delivering fine-polish details around things like trackpad drivers and power management.
