Boot Camp vs VMware or Parallels

[datafreak667]

boot camp is best because it runs natively with your hardware

[mandoza3]

If you own the lisance adobe will send you a download link to get another copy if you change your OS.

[Zoolookuk]

This guy is clueless (the presenter). Rosetta doesn't "allow Classic OS apps to run on OS X" it allows PowerPC apps to run on Intel machines. Going off on some tangent about Rosetta Stone and the original meaning is just confusing to the caller.

[Murphy98112]

The only program I want Windows on my Mac for is the crappy Sonic Stage software for my "old" Sony Walkman NWS 706, which is a fantastic player, but I need Windows to load music the way I want it.

[TheBlacksarrow]

I cant play games on my VMware Fusion it says your graphics card or video card has properly stopped working even though on my mac it works properly please help!

[TalesOfWar]

@TheBlacksarrow It's notoriously difficult to get 3D games (and apps like 3DS and so on) running well on a virtual machine. If you want to do those kind of things you're better off simply rebooting into Windows natively. Parallels does a decent job of it these days, but it's still nowhere near native and likely never will be.

[jordanchie1]

how do u get that screen save chris???

[qwertqwertzzz]

why buy a mac when use a windows, are u even trying to convert. buy a intel mac

[TalesOfWar]

@qwertqwertzzz Very few people can make the switch instantly. Most of us will have software that only runs on Windows (or a license for the Windows version, like Adobe stuff, it's a pain in the ASS to get your license swapped to a different OS). There are also some things that just flat out aren't available for Macs. Publisher is a good example. Nothing but Publisher can open Publisher files, and it's ONLY on Windows. I hate it, but clients send shit made in it still for some reason.

[metalmacbeth]

Dude update this video!

You call yourself a fucken techie?

GTFO!

[rezrocknj]

Is a windows' CD required to run boot Boot Camp, VMware or Parallels? I have a dell with XP. THe hard ware died so I want to know if I can use the same CD to run it on a MacBook Pro. I want to use a program for windows only called Proshow. Here are the requirements:

Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000

(64-bit Windows 7, Vista and XP supported)

1024x768 display

1GHz+ processor

1GB system memory

Accelerated 3D graphics - 64MB ram

DirectX 8.0 or better

DVD+R/RW/-R/RW writer

70 MB hard drive space

[TalesOfWar]

@rezrocknj You won't need ProShow with a Mac. iPhoto does brilliant slideshows and it's part of iLife which comes free with every new Mac.

[rezrocknj]

@TalesOfWar I been using iphoto and its no way near as good as ProwShow.. The transition are amazing. I use it for 5 years at my old job. I have make book pro and I acually did a video as good as proshow and it took for ever and I had to do so much to get it to look right. Youtube it you'll see the difference.. Try to out due the best prowshow video you find. I dear you. Loving my MAC.

[rezrocknj]

@TalesOfWar look this up. ProShow Producer 4.0 Demo Show

[rezrocknj]

@TalesOfWar I am migrating from a PC with my first Imac...brand new.....I love photoshow gold....what is the best program to learn on MAC with similar functionality- i'e, use of both video and pictures, and ability to put mutiple pictures on a slide, with different times, and transition times...Right now it looks as if Proshow Gold by photodex has alot more functionality....Am I missing something???

[skategul10]

my vm ware is really Sloww should i just use boot camp?

[MrHumerousify]

@skategul10 yeah that's the problem if im using bootcamp will my ram remain intact or does it share with the os?

[applepro100]

can any one tell me how gameing on parallel fusion 3 would be. games like FEAR 3 and call of duty 3 or 4

[hasjfa]

@applepro100

impossible to game in Parallel or Ware. Use boot camp

[maw88ify]

Just use VirtualBox like us Linux users do...

It's free and now support Mac OS vitalization ...

[LordJosephDeBurg]

@maw88ify very true man, came here to see the other options out there but virtual box is just full of win

[sirwut]

Where can i find his screensaver?!

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

THIS CALLER IS A RETARD.

[bitchiknowyouloveme]

oizo flat beat ?

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

@bitchiknowyouloveme that's what I was thinking!

[iKyleO]

i love that screensaver! i know what its called and i wish it was available for snow leopard!!

[Regunirun]

Macs = AWFUL

[dsass600]

nice song

[Macinabit]

Hi, I have a Mac Book the white one and have not got the 2 discs that come with it. I want to install XP but need the soft thats o the discs I don't have for the web cam, keyboard etc. Does anyone know how I can et hold of this software/Drivers etc. Thanks

[NeonboiiZ]

@Macinabit if you have the snow leopard disc, use that instead. when you put in the disc, click on open in folder view and find the bootcamp folder.

[Macinabit]

@NeonboiiZ Hi, OK have done it. good result all is working fine, never knew the drivers were on the os install disc!!. thanks for your help.

[Mastersun88]

I have VMware Fusion and want to ask why does my windows which is vista lag so much can you please help me I tried everything in my power to get sony vegas to tun nice without lagging and I would use final cut pro to do my video projects but I do not want to wait for days to convert my avi files into the formats that mac understands in final cut is there any easier way to go about this or a faster one please give me a suggestion on what I should do.

[xpnoipj0230]

he listens to electro. haha

[seaomf]

depends on the computer owner. my self-built windows xp desktop never crashes. my macbook never crashes. windows vista running in bootcamp however, is a different story.

[bouncingsoul100]

virtual box is good opensource prog works fine

[Paddy260991]

What is the screensaver he's using at 1:20?

[surfistacool69]

Fenêtres Volantes ;)

[omarespinoza]

what is better VMware or Parallels and which is faster

[JustAOrdinaryChannel]

There both bad, use the software by java, its better and it is easier and doesn't have any problems, unlike vmware and parrels, i tried them both and it had problems. I forgot what the java one is called though sorry just type java virtual machine online.

[tazy4tazy]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhh

[Guitarnerd24]

ok so i have windows in boot camp and windows installed on my mac i can use vm ware or parallels and access the windows side in mac and have the choice or rebooting in windows if i wanted?

[husmakk]

thanks mate, I tried both Vmware and Parallel and I can say Parallel is far better than Vmware. I do not know what do you think.

[XBlackXLabelX]

Please tell me what screensaver is used by you... I really like it.

[tomeglenn]

"BootCamp turns your Mac into a PC... Only it doesn't install crap"

What the hell? The Windows installation is still gonna install all the same stuff. AFAIK BootCamp is just a partition manager for dual booting Windows and a Boot Manager for choosing the OS to boot at start up.

[beejm90]

I think he's talking about all the crapware that you would get if you bought a new PC from a company like Dell or HP.

[KevKo95]

My DELL PC came with only 1 peice of bloatware, and that was from McAfee.

HP on the other hand, does have major bloatware and is shit.

Macs fail.

[beejm90]

Well, well look what we have here, another delusional PC fanboy. First of all dumbass, I wasn't even saying a word about your precious Dell. I was just saying that normally PC's come with loads of crapware Installed. The only reason why you say Macs fail Is because you don't have one. You've probably never even used one. If you ever set down for a few minutes & tried OS X you would see how superior It Is to Windows.

[KevKo95]

Another retarded Mac fanboy making claims.

I use Macs on a daily basis both at school and at my friend's house. They are slow, and constantly crash.

Also, retard, you stated "you didn't mention Dell", what about :"...PC from a company like Dell..."? Retard. I don't want to own a Mac because they are shit. They have shit hardware and a shit OS.

[beejm90]

Ok, first of all I'm not a Mac fanboy, I'm a Mac enthusiast. There's a big difference. You state that they are slow & crash constantly. Unless these are older Macs you're talking about, then you're full of shit. When I said Dell earlier I wasn't picking on them In particular. I was talking about PC manufacturers In general. HP & Dell are just the first 2 that came to mind. The truth Is Mac OS X Is far superior to Windows. That Dell of yours Is probably a good machine, but having Windows ruins It

[KurdaxPride]

I've used both at school,(when I was in school :P) mainly they are all slow don't rely on school for judgements. They are both fast.

[killershayne]

KevKo Fuck you. Macs DO NOT CRASH! Thats a PC move. And if you ever use any Computer at a school it sucks in general. Mac or Windows! because there generally hook up to one server throughout the school.

[lmull3]

every computer crashes, lol. i've had mac crash. it just crashes a different way. the kernel panic is a system crash on mac os x, unix, linux, etc. and a mac is a PC. it's a personal computer.

[neoxalucard]

Don't be a fan boy! Macs do in fact crash just like every other computer on the planet, even the old ones did.

Cashing for a "PC" or any computer is usually the result of "broken" software or failing hardware. But as far a crashing goes Vista and now 7 are solid OS's, as is OSX, "crashing" is a rare thing in either case.

FYI:Mac's ad PC's are more alike then ever.

[Franchan10]

@neoxalucard

do you have a mac?

ive only had it crash on me once.

It was really scary because it never happened before

[H0D0NKAIN]

If I could just copy/paste your brain to mine, it all would be good. :)

[UnbeatableGamers]

can you have it so by default it starts up with windows xp using bootcamp?

[Ravenspeed]

thats what I want to know, can you perminantly keep it running as windows or you always have to run os first.

[UnbeatableGamers]

I sure hopeso, Cause I don't think I would use bootcamp if I had to run mac osx then run windows

[UnbeatableGamers]

I found out that you can install vista over mac os but you won't be able to go back into mac os it will boot directly into vista. But if you want both you have to start mac os first then go to vista

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Run "os". First??? You always run an os! You mean Mac.... Or OS 9 or OS X (X = 10 in roman numerals). But I get what you mean...

[andrewthomasbarlow]

select apple - system preferences - startup disk - windows

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Why would you want to???

[Miguelllanosi]

yes you can, heres how

Boot in XP, then in the botom roght corner, there will be like a small grey 3D cube shaped form, click there and it will open bootcamp preferences, then just choose the OS to star with, click restart, and you´re done!!!!!!!

[brutus910]

virtual box is the same just free

[sillentkller9]

u can get adobe cs for mac wat a retard

[panthro213]

That's not very silent of you. lol.

[KurdaxPride]

lol

[topsyandpip56]

Eeek, Rosetta is not for Windows programs! And its not called Rosetta Stone, its just Rosetta! LOL

[RenegadeMaster07]

How can i get that screensaver?

[madbomber69]

i want it aswell!

[dard03]

Just to be more clear (since the word "Classic" has its own meaning in OS X), "Rosetta" is a translation layer that lets older PowerPC-based OS X applications run on the new Intel hardware. "Classic" is an older translation layer that let pre-OS X (OS 9) applications run in OS X. The Classic layer is no longer supported due to the migration to Intel hardware.

[corazoncomplicando]

So Vmware cannot run games....can Pararells?

[ParkourReble]

no , they all can, it just depends on what your hard ware is,,, but it will, just depends on how smooth you want it.

[sada232]

Vista takes 512(?) mb of ram? OSX takes 512? thats minimum if you want it to run well just get 4gb of memory, Or just run boot camp =].

[tcadroas]

I prefer VMware fusion, having a real isolated virtual machine is easier to deal with. I prefer to run my games in windows Vista, and do virtualized tasks in other operating systems like Windows XP, Linux, or openBSD.. I don't like Apple's "This is mine, not yours" attitude. Microsoft released a great deal of working documentation free for non-commercial use. What did apple release? Censored tidbits of undocumented non functional code heavily legally protected code.

[Blinkwing]

but microsoft windows isn't immune against viruses!

And it spys your private data really much!

[Asc3nsi0n]

can you game in VMware?games like UT3,crysis etc.

[bigjohn955]

They would run really slow inside of a virtual machine. Better to boot directly into windows.

[SubNegativeStudios]

No. You cannot run any sophisticated games in VMWare fusion.

from vmware website

"VMware Fusion now has experimental support for DirectX 9.0 3-D graphics (without shader support) to enable more Microsoft Windows 3-D applications and games to run. This will allow for many new games to run in VMware Fusion that could not be previously run. However, if a game requires shaders it may not run at all. Games that provide the ability to run without shaders can potentially run in VMware Fusion 1.1."

[SubNegativeStudios]

However, if a game requires shaders it may not run at all. Games that provide the ability to run without shaders can potentially run in VMware Fusion 1.1."

This sentence says it all, any games that require shaders can not run. And any games that are released nowadays have shaders.

[iAsiaFan]

no, only in boot camp

[sacredgeometry]

No mac except a Mac Book Pro with non standard gfx updates will run crysis at native resolutions to thier screens.... at least thats on first glance. My pc has trouble with core2duo and 8800gtx (hopefully the geforce10 series will play it)

I havent tried on my 17"MBP but im pretty sure a 8600 gt at 1920x1200 will do jack shit.

Peace

Brian

[NETrevgadget]

Hey, my 2.4Ghz 4gb ram macbook (aluminium) runs crysis at 1280x800 resolution (native) fine.

[KevKo95]

Sure it runs Crysis 'fine'. If you consider fine to be 6FPS. Mac hardware is shit and they can barely play Hearts

[NETrevgadget]

Excuse me? My macbook played crysis at 20-40 FPS.

[remp2ny4lyf]

I get 80+ and I payed $700 to build my computer. Have fun

[NETrevgadget]

But that is a desktop, this is a notebook. And it wasn't exactly designed for playing games so 20-40fps is more than satisfactory for a non gaming laptop.

[LoudS1l3nc3]

while running windows on bootcamp.

RUNNING WINDOWS IS RUNNING WINDOWS, NO MATTER IF YOU RUN IT INSIDE A MACBOOK OR A TOASTER!

[metallerium]

windows in mac still ever windows... windows sucks!!!

[bouncingsoul100]

in your opinion - duuude

[turshusuyu1818]

good

[twistedkatana1]

i so so so so badly want a macbook

[dannylberry2]

me 2 :-0

[latino77]

me 3

[latino77]

me 3

[Cruzingama]

I dont even use windows on my mac no need for me!

[j800r]

@Cruzingama there is for me, but only to run certain games. i've tried running games through Parallels an it jus don't cut it.

[skyrider007]

i love ur screensaver, where can i find it?

[Nanotech11]

Search for "fenetre volantes"

[jonnyk5614]

Can I run a newer OS than the OS in use in a VM? I use XP Pro but would like to run Vista in a VM. Will it work all right? My hardware is able to cope with vista.

[delfmeek]

sure can! if you run Vista in a VM, you won't be able to use the Aero interface, but that's about it. i do it at work, and I'll admit, it looks a bit weird running Vista in a VM on XP, but, hey it works.

[jonnyk5614]

And Mac OS in XP?

[ssolkemserB]

VMWare

[dannylberry2]

can it be done?

[funkwurm]

CHRIS, the guy calling isn't confusing rosetta with bootcamp/virtualization solutions. He has Adobe CS 2 for XP, and because he's not switching to the Mac, he's thinking about also upgrading to CS 3, but now for Mac OS X in stead of XP.

He's right that Adobe (though one of the biggest developers of Mac apps) doesn't support the intel-platform yet, so he would have to run CS3 on Rosetta. I'd argue that CS2 on a Bootcamp XP partition is going to be way faster than CS3 on Rosetta in Mac OS X

[car112345678910]

Chris is cute

[kevaughanshiu]

ugh. okay?

[boyweed]

If you've got bootcamp and vmware, you can access your bootcamp partition through vmware!! It makes file transfers easier, and makes you wanna use windows more...

[thisblender]

is bootcamp FREE? what is a free program to run windows on a mac?

[macmastery]

bootcamp comes with osx leopard its free

[FirebrandNIRE]

Its included the with OS X 10.5

[DeeDeeDee28]

bootcamp is free, but you need to buy a Windows XP or Vista petition to be able to use boot camp, parallels, or VMware

[ltsAboutJesus]

Bootcamp is great.

[therealorberon]

he has a very cool screen saver.

[gianni12378]

how did he zoom in like that plz tell me.. i just got my first mac. does anyone have tips from a microsoft user to a mac user like me.

[jbaileypro]

You hold down the "ctrl" key then scroll in and out (if you have a macbook i think you use 2 fingers to scroll)

[eliotschreiner]

Control+scroll wheel or trackpad scroll.

[an80sGuy]

"how did he zoom in like that"

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse > Check: zoom using scroll wheel......

Also look at,

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts

[B0BGE0RGE]

If you install Windows XP using boot camp, is OS X still ur default OS? And how do you switch between OS X and XP in boot camp?

[karatekid54321]

what is bootcamp

[FirebrandNIRE]

Software for running Windows on the Mac

[AdmiralJaneway]

Everyone always asks about buying a mac, i've never heard people are buying aPC

[cphellp]

Is this Pirillo??

[karatekid54321]

yes

[yzman321]

first comment lol and i use boot camp on my imac for xp home
