As of May 2012, Apple has only released read-only HFS+ drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 as part of the Boot Camp software in Mac OS X 10.6. [33] This means users on these systems can read data on the HFS+ drive, but not write to them.
With the addition of HFS drivers into Apple's Boot Camp, it has also become possible for Macs running Windows to read (but not write) HFS partitions, without the purchase of software. Users have separated these drivers from the main Bootcamp install, and now also install on other Windows computers.
Apple's Boot Camp provides BIOS backwards compatibility, allowing dual and triple boot configurations. The following operating systems are installable on Intel x86–based Apple computers: [28] Mac OS X 10.4.7 and later; Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 32-bit & 64-bit (hardware drivers are included in Boot Camp)

Windows NT was originally designed for ARC-compatible platforms, relying on its boot manager support and providing only osloader.exe, a loading program accepting ordinary command-line arguments specifying Windows directory partition, location or boot parameters, which is launched by ARC-compatible boot manager when a user chooses to start specific Windows NT operating system.
Boot Camp allows non-destructive disk partitioning and resizing of HFS+ filesystems, boot menu options, and an option to burn a CD with necessary device drivers. Since Windows XP is incompatible with Extensible Firmware Interface (the successor to legacy BIOS), the firmware on early Intel Macs needs to be updated to support BIOS emulation first ...
Windows 2000 modified the IFS interface to add per-file encryption. Network file-sharing protocols and antivirus are also implemented using IFS 'file system filter' drivers which intercept file I/O operations. [4] Apple started including read only HFS+ drivers in Mac OS X 10.6's version of Boot Camp [5] for use in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and ...
