Hi Leslie

But with parallels (virtual machine) , you need extra resources to support the two OS as they are loaded to RAM each time.
But the advantage is all the software is available, you don’t need to reboot the machine on order to access to other os.

Kevin (and others),

The $50 for Parallels was worth every penny to have access to my Mac stuff at the same time.

Thanks!

In the end I went with bootcamp, which has been fine for P3, but I think I might go the Parallels route next time which would give me easier access to the Apple software during my working day.

I have the new MacBook from Apple with the Dual Core Intel Processor. I do not use Boot Camp, which allows users to boot the computer either in "mac" mode or in "windows" mode. I use a third party program called Parallels which allows the Mac to run windows (or unix, etc.) in a window. I have used this for several months and have experienced no problems with P3.

Hope this helps!
