Dawson uses/used parallels and it was hell flash especially if you have enough ram. It didn't play games though. But yea, he knows a bit more on how to run it. I don't know if you need to partition your machine with parallels or not though.
Personally I use boot camp which comes with leopard and just boot up the computer in windows when I want to use windows programs i.e. games. Either way if you're installing windows on your comp make sure you have a copy of windows xp that has service pack 2 on it or it'll delete all of your Mac stuff. Much like a virus. Much like what happened when I first tried to use boot camp. It was dumb.
im on a 15 day trial for parallel... im just not keen on having to re-boot everytime i need to run between photoshop and excel, rather have 1 space for excel and 1 space for photoshop and jump between the 2 :)
when i come down i might come visit u guys... my fellow mac lovers lol
Yea, that's fair enough aye. You could try getting a copy of Microsoft Office: Mac. Or just play around with parallels, I don't think you can do too much damage with parallels cause it's an just an emulator - Albeit an extremely efficient emulator, or so I've heard.
:P haha but yea definitely come us when you're down. The Mac army is climbing rapidly, I know 3 people including yourself who have bought macs in the last couple of weeks.
I'm pretty sure parallels is the best emulator aye, it's really efficient and doesn't eat your system resources especially if you have a lot of ram.
Bootcamp, is in my opinion the best way to run another operating system especially for games but that said, you do have to restart your computer every time you want to use a windows program.
um yeah just get the mac version of office, it is kinda shit, but better than you know windows. I did the parallels ting, and its all good apart from at playing 3d games but now i dont really know what to do with it. i'll go get some viruses or something i guess. >_> financially you can still get all the mac programs from the interwebs if you know where abouts to lookie.
I've installed parallel for office and this 2d MMO that i play... maple story.
it works alright, cept sometimes it crashes when i change game channels... hrm... anyway i might pay $80 for it anyway, its just handy to have really..
so where should i lookie lookie for mac stuff hmmm??? piratebay?
