apple boot camp?!!

so i just heard today that apple i releasing boot camp which will allow you to run windows on your intel mac. now my question is, will this take advantage oof the graphics cards and other hardware on the mac or will it be all software emulated, such as virtual pc? will graphic intense programs/games run on bootcamp?

I believe Boot Camp is a Gui tutorial on installing Windows XP, which you have to supply, on your intel-mac.
Then you choose to boot either OS X or Win XP. There is no "emulation".
As to Graphic support, the jury's still out on that one.

The Jury is in..and it works fine. All the drivers are supported and the process is reported to take about 40 mins to install and approximately 36 sec to boot into XP on an Intel Mini.
