You may think there are others, but there are not.

If we need to use Windows for fun or for work, we have a choice on how to get it. I need it Windows use the VPN software my work demands. I suppose you could say I don't have a reason to use BootCamp because I can use Parallels. Or you could say I don't have a reason to use Parallels because I can use BootCamp. Or I have no reason to use Parallels because I could use Fusion. If that's what you are saying, I am not getting your point. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

Lewis said in his that the only reason to use BootCamp is for gaming. That being the case, there can't possibly be any other reasons. I'd try to explain further, but to do so I'd have to understand it in the first place. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

In my experience the speed difference is barely noticeable. I think it largely depends on what type of hardware you have, whether you allocate sufficient RAm to the VM, and the types of applications you run. On a relatively new Mac with a Core 2 Duo or better processor, if you allocate a respectable 1-2 GB to the VM, and run standard office applications, VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop will be outright speedy. That's been my experience on several Macs. That said, certain applications will always run better natively (through Boot Camp) - especially graphics-intensive applications that require 3D acceleration. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

You may think there are others, but there are not. How do you know this? Has a sudden omniscience been bestowed on you? Or has a sudden imperious and unfounded sense of authority and ability to read everyone's circumstances and mind suddenly infected you? > Not wanting to > pay for Fusion or Parallels is unacceptable as a reason, as is simply > wanting to. Unacceptable to who? Some folks might be cash strapped, some folks might have an intel Mac not needed for a while to doing anything Maclike but they might need to see somethings under Windows. Some folks might simply not want to set anything up when there is already something provided. -- dorayme |
