[cfaussie] Re: Parallels or Bootcamp?
VMware would probably be my chosen option if I HAD to run virtual machines from my laptop. But I'd much rather just leave a windows machine with a network connection running in the back closet and connect with Terminal Server if I had the option. With a half decent broadband connection - I'd much rather TS into the a remote windows machine then try and run a local virtual install. Bootcamp would IMO be far and away the best way to run a web/sql/cf server from a mac laptop if you won't have a broadband connection.

vmware Fusion , I just switched from Paralles and find it has better performance but the bottom line is you need a mac with a lot of RAM if you want to run virtual windows.

Bootcamp doesnt emulate anything it simply allows you to partition and dual boot into Windows at Startup. Bootcamp simply contains all the drivers that allows Windows to function with Mac hardware. In my experience Bootcamp is the most robust of all the options since it doesnt have to emulate anything. You also get to use the full power and memory of your machine. The benefit of installing Parallels and BootCamp is that in Parallels you can run Windows programs directly from OSX. By installing Parallels using the use BootCamp partition option you dont have to re-partition the drive again for virtualization. So, the benefit of doing it this way is if you run out of memory or a program doesnt run in Parallels you can just re-boot into BootCamp and use your machine as a normal Windows box ensuring maximum speed and compatibility.

The other important advantage of using virtualisation software is you can run different OS's concurrently on top OSX and even have them all networked together. Very useful for testing the complete multi-server application before actually deploying it.
