Boot Camp vs VMware or Parallels

http://live.pirillo.com - Apparently, Virtual Machines are a hot topic! I've had a few calls lately asking about them, the differences, and my recommendations. This caller is buying a Macbook Pro, and is wondering what he should use as far as running Windows programs.

Just use VirtualBox like us Linux users do...

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

boot camp is best because it runs natively with your hardware

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

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.

@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???

@TalesOfWar look this up. ProShow Producer 4.0 Demo Show

@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 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.

@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.
