Some further thoughts on the three options presented: 1. Boot Camp: This is not a virtualization option as the folks at Rose Point indicate. Rather Apple has gathered Windows drivers for its hardware that allows you to run Windows directly on a Macinotsh that uses Intel based chipsets (all made within the last two years do). Very efficient, but requires you to restart to switch from the Mac OS to Windows and Vice Versa. 2. Parallels: Probably the best option if you want to easily switch between Mac OS applications and Windows applications. Allows you to run Windows simultaneously with the Mac OS... 3. Virtual PC: A slower virtualization solution than Parallels or Fusion. Somewhat pricey and has not been updated in awhile. Microsoft purchased Connectix who developed this product... 3. Fusion: A relative newcomer from VMWare that uses similar technology to Parallels, and is free. I have no experience with it though... | ||

Greetings folks, this is really for Susie who has a Mac Mini at home, but thought others may benefit. The link is geared towards Coastal Explorer, but the same concepts and options apply to any Windows software running on a Macintosh... http://coastalexplorer.net/articles/mac |
