Hi Scott, Just simply less stress with bootcamp than in a vm either virtual box or vm fusion.
I do use virtual box for our machiens at work only because it’s a free vm system, some of my colleagues use parallels as a preference but they are sighted so don’t have the issues of voiceover with parallels to deal with. It’s a shame parallels isn’t accessible as it appears to be the best of the 3 vm tools. At least for the sighted. I find to many things get screwed up with vms around my work place, people changing settings or profiles or group policies therefore I just desided to setup bootcamp and keep away from the vm side of things to avoid other peoples screw ups. But more I have better control of my bootcamp than my vm. However in saying that I have a windows 10 machine at work that I have 3 vm S on for different uses, This allows me to access systems that are more restricted and don’t have to be running constantly. Hope that makes sence.

I’m interested you seem to prefer this. I am a VM fan but wonder what advantages you’re finding running windows separately. I would have thought having both available at the same time would be preferable. Give me your take on things, very interested.

The AD tools is not something that at this point can be done from a mac or at least that we have found. I also find that speed for me in windows is still greater due to years more of use so I still fall back to that for comfort. I play more of my media on the mac as it’s better setup for media both playing and production. But being able to have both systems in one machine is an excellent choice, I can flick between OS’s within 20 seconds But mainly it’s comfort and a lack of knowledge and then the power tools that make me use the windows machine. Hope that helps Cheers, Simon f From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com<mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com>[mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Arnold Schmidt Sent: Sunday, 10 July 2016 12:33 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com<mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Windows For An Hour A Day, was Re: For new, or majorly struggling Mac users: Please read Your original message brings up an interesting point, in that you said you might spend half hour, , to an hour in windows. Being that I have now ordered my Mac mini, I am not going back this time, what type things simply work better in windows than on the mac? Oftentimes, it is that the user simply does not know how to do something well when they say something doesn't work as well, so I am more interested in the answer from the more experienced users. I know, for example, that Openbook will not be available to me on the Mac, I don't know how well DocuScan, from System Access works, and it sounds as if scanning and reading, by importing everything into a word processing app is about more trouble than it is worth. No problem, I will use KNFB reader on my iPhone. But what else does windows do better? Thanks for any opinions.
