I recently "switched" and a main reason that I did was a product called Parallels (www.parallels.com) that does the same thing as VMWare. As long as you are not looking to be a high-end gamer, Parallels is a sweet tool. It turned my Mac into a Windows machine while staying in the Mac OS (better than Boot Camp, which requires a reboot).
I'm not affiliated with Parallels, just a licensed user. -Lief -----Original Message----- Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 12:57:06 -0700 (DT) From: John Posada <jposad...@yahoo.com> Subject: Run WinOS (and FM) on a MAC OS X To: "List, Framers" <Framers at FrameUsers.com> Message-ID: <20060807195706.14702.qmail at web35413.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi, guys...VMWare is a company owned by my company (EMC), so I thought I'd pass this on. VMWare is signing up beta testers for a version that will run on MAC OS X that will permit the creation of a partition that will allow the running of a Windows (or other) OS. http://vmware.rsc02.net/servlet/campaignrespondent?_ID_=vmwi.1756 "...Mac even more with the ability to simultaneously run any PC OS-Windows, Linux, NetWare and others-on Mac OS X. Switch between operating systems by easily tabbing between applications and share data between the two operating systems by dragging and dropping files on the fly-all without needing to reboot. What's more, you can create virtual machines and run them on other VMware products or run any VMware virtual machine on your Mac."
