I'm really curious on how the update is going to work, I can't wait to get home.
I'm assuming you download it, install the assistant and just burn a new drivers cd and thats it?
Edit: Well d'uh after clicking the link at the bottom it just said exactly what i said, well kinda ;)

Looks like you might not need to reinstall Windows to do this update. :eek:
Updating to Boot Camp 1.2 beta
If you previously installed Boot Camp beta, you can easily update to Boot Camp 1.2 beta. You don't need to partition your hard drive again (unless you want to change its size) or reinstall your Macintosh and Windows software or documents, but it's very important to update the Boot Camp Assistant software, create a new Mac Drivers CD and install the updated software it contains onto Windows. Complete instructions are provided in the Installation and Setup Guide included with the Boot Camp 1.2 beta software.

Nice to see, but I assume this is just a stop gap until we get a full-blown version with Leopard?

I don't see how this affects VM other than simply being more attractive. Considering the price of Parallels, this is a better option, since you get don't have to divvy up the resources for each OS.
All of the boot camp iterations were stop gaps to Leopard. Being the one app in OS X to provide the best of both worlds it requires lots of product testing. So far Bootcamp has been fantastic for me. A finished product will no doubt be simply supoib.
