[AccessD] Windows on a Mac

[Darryl Collins]

This has been my (limited) experience too.  Bootcamp is native (and free) but Parallels is more useful, flexible and powerful.   Make sure you give yourself enough disk space for both OS's when you set it up.

Please don't over weight this comment.  I haven't had much to do with Macs,  but the few times I have had to set this up for people Parallels has worked well.

Cheers
Darryl.

I use both Parallels and VMWare Fusion.  They work well but Parallels would be my choice as it is faster to access files outside the VM. Fusion seems to lose the connection to the 'external' file system whenever it isn't being accessed, and takes a couple of seconds to get it back.

I used to use Bootcamp but I prefer a VM where I can switch back and forth between OSX and Windows.
