Hi, John - I've run FrameMaker under both Parallels and VMware Fusion but have only used in on a Windows platform for the last several years. I may soon be in a position to use a Mac again. I'm curious about your preference for Bootcamp (which I've never used). I would also love to hear from other Framers on this topic.
Thanks. Pat Christenson ------------------------------------------------ John Sgammato wrote: In other news, we are also a Mac house. Over three years of trial-and-error, we have determined that our best setup is Bootcamp on the Mac, not Parallels and not VirtualMachine.
