Running windows on mac

Ok so there are two programs worth looking at. Parallels Desktop which runs a partition on your computer without the need to restart or log off. Another one is Boot Camp. This comes with the new Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. This program however requires you to restart your computer. I at the moment have only used parallels.
Using either of these programs is very simple all you need to do once you have installed them is just put in a cd with windows xp on it and follow the steps. I had to use a copied version of windows 2000 then update which caused a few problems but worked in the end!
If you are wanting to run something big such as WoW then don't use parallels as it can't handle it! However, if it is just to run other small applications then parallels is fine. If you have any questions or problems please post or pm me :azn:

I dont really like parallels desktop as most probably when you run 2 OS at a time, the com will slow down badly. i rather running windows itself ... haha just commenting.. :smiley:
