PC on a Mac!

August 20, 2007 in Tips by Arno Bosse | No comments

The newest generation of Apple hardware use the Intel processor chip. As a result, they are able to now run Windows [and Linux] Operating Systems, in addition to the Mac OS. There are two ways of running PC on your new MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac etc:

  • Parallels: A $79 software that will allow you to run Win XP, Vista, etc. – concurrently with your OS X. That means, you will be running two Operating Systems at once and have the abillity to toggle between the two. Further Info: Read an in-depth review by Ars Technica.
  • Apple Boot Camp: Currently in Beta, and free for now, this Apple software allows you to boot Windows OS natively on your Mac. You will not be able to access your OS X installation until you reboot your machine. Further Info: Read a short review by W. Mossberg.
