These software(s) allow you to run both OSes concurrently! In your MacOS X dock you can have an application running natively in windows!

Good=Boot camp is free, and all the resources of your PC are dedicated to the OS running at that time.īad= Cannot run at the same time as Mac OS X (must restart machine to switch between OSes)Ģ.

Once this is installed you can install your copy of Windows, and then, whenever you start your Apple you can choose between going into the Mac OS X or (your copy) of Windows.

Then there is the choice of how to use it:ġ. What you do need to own (or buy) is a legitimate copy of Windows - XP/ Vista etc. Mark, the really great thing about Apple using Intel chips, and their choice to release windows drivers for Apple machines, is that you don't have to put up with slow and buggy (and expensive) emulators to run Windows software on an Apple machine.
I get a kick out of the boxes: 'Designed by Apple in California' in huge letters 'Made in China' in fine print. Waiting for Leopard before moving over though.and wishing they would manufacture somewhere other than China, or at least be certified as 'ethically manufactured' (somewhat like 'fair trade' commodity certification). There are still a handful of things that I prefer about the Windows interface, and which I prefer about Windows Explorer compared to OS X Finder in particular, but there are 3rd party tools for OS X to provide what I would miss. Apple seems ahead now, IMHO, for the PowerMac, particularly if you beef up the memory and disks from 3rd parties. Until Apple switched to Intel, I felt that Macs were way underpowered in a bang-for-the-buck sense compared to a PC. solid hardware design from Apple, in particular the PowerMac in terms of cooling, cable runs, and multiprocessor support etc compared to the typical (every?) PC. the amount of open source Unix software that works with OS X, and which is included with it (of more interest to developers, perhaps) Spotlight, Expose and more on OS X - big time savers
simple things like pausable/resumable downloads, particularly of software updates on OS X out of the box (need download manager on XP - but cannot use it with 'Windows Update'- tedious process to find Microsoft download site). the questionable stability / security and design 'sense' of the core of XP / Vista (part of why things crash and have weird interactions) compared with the solid Unix (Mach) / Darwin core of OS X the number of features dropped from Vista combined with the problems with existing features and lack of device drivers after many slipped deadlines - but most important the big resource hog that Vista is to obtain an interface not that different than Mac OS on much older, lower power equipment the amount of time wasted cleaning off all of the junk installed on a new Windows computer by the manufacturer: demo software, junk software, advertising, etc the amount of time wasted maintaining a Windows machine because of Microsoft's direct and indirect screw-ups (and I've been with them since original DOS and Windows 3.0) - losing on average 4 productive days per year per machine to maintenance / reinstallation I'll probably always have both to support clients, but the switch will make a Mac my primary machine. Would you mind sharing your reasons for the switch?
