I have Windows 10 on Bootcamp. While I very rarely boot into Windows
directly, Windows 7 and 10 both run very well on the Apple hardware.
I have mostly accessed the Bootcamp partition using VirtualBox until I
upgraded to 10, then the VirtualBox Vm stopped working. Until could get
it working again, I downloaded and installed a trial version of VMWare
Fusion. I have to say the experience was more than pleasing. The
virtualisation set up was fast and painless and the machine runs
lickety-split.
I have since found the solution to the Windows 10 integration with
VirtualBox and now have both that can run the same Bootcamp partition
(not at the same time of course). VMWare is slick and fast whereas VB
seems a bit clunky and dated. VB is also subject to bugs that Oracle do
not seem inclined to invest in.
I am using FM 2015.

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.

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.

Hello,
Does anyone use FrameMaker and then integrate that documentation with
Salesforce?
I'm 1 of 1-1/2 technical writers at a start up that creates cloud apps
for Salesforce. We are currently using Salesforce Knowledge to create
and deliver our documentation. Knowledge is possibly the worst
documentation tool I have ever used. We've been looking at various
single-sourcing solutions, and we're down to MadCap Flare and FrameMaker.
I'm a FrameMaker user from way back - I started with FM+SGML 5.5 in
1999. I developed templates and tools for FM+SGML and FM+XML from
1999-2005. I've used FM 12 in an unstructured environment, and am
happy to see the improvements. I'm not sure how many improvements
there have been in the structured environment, however. I've tried to
contact Adobe, and have gotten a human being to say he'll give my
questions to a solutions specialist to answer. Knowing Adobe, I'm not going to
hold my breath.
My questions are:
- Is anyone here writing doc for Salesforce or Salesforce apps? If so,
what tools do you use?
- Is there a good comparison of the most recent versions of Flare v. FM?
The only ones I've been able to find are from several years ago.
- Is anyone here using FM+XML (either v12 or 2015) who could answer some
specific questions I have about it?
We're a Mac house, so I can't just download the trial versions. We
understand that we will need to get me set up with a VM and Windows to
use the software we choose.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
~Robyn
