Hi Chris
Thanks for your response. The main program I run is OziExplorer and
another minor mapping programs. Do you need to buy Windows for all the
programs? and if so, would I be better off buying XP the same as I use
at the moment or the latest system.
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter
I've used the current versions of Parallels and Fusion and Sun's
VirtualBox
(which is free) and they are all pretty good virtual machines.
Unless you
are talking the latest Windows games I would think any of the above
would be
fine for most apps. Games may run best in Fusion but BootCamp is
probably
the better option - that is of course debatable.
There is a big caveat with all three and that is that you need to
own a copy
of Windows to install in the virtual machine.
If it's only a couple of apps that you need like the ATO Tax App
then I'd
probably suggest Sun's VirtualBox.
Regards,
Chris.

Subject: Re: VMWare Fusion $41 till 11.30am today
Hi
I need to run windoze for a couple of applications that can't be run
on a Mac and currently use a small windows laptop. Now that I've
bought a intel Mac I intend to run windoze on it but haven't got
around to choosing which program to use. This email suggests now
might
be the time to make up my mind. The question is: Is VMWare Fusion a
reasonable program to use for someone who wants to run a couple of
windoze programs on their Mac? or should I be more careful in
choosing
what program I use?
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards
Peter

this is quite a saving if you’re in the market for Fusion/Parallels.
