You do need more RAM for VMs. An easy rule of thumb is 4GB per OS .. 4
for the Mac, and 4 for each VM. I've got 16GB, and that works great for
3 OSes.

Hi Pat,
I got my MacBook Pro in November 2012.
First I asked for a Windows machine. That was rejected.
Then I tried VirtualBox, and that did not work well for a number of reasons
that I no longer recall.
(I had plenty of support from well-meaning engineers.)
Then one of those well-meaning engineers took my Mac home over the weekend
and when I got it back it was great. He had configured Bootcamp to use
virtually all the Mac resources and since then it has been a Windows
machine, first Win7 and now Win10 with TCS 2015.
I was just talking to our IT guy. I am due for an upgrade, but I told him
that I don't want it because my system ain't broke, so please don't fix it.
About 21 months ago, we added two more writers. They got Macs, but set up
Parallels. Parallels was a resource hog and their systems never ran as well
as my older Bootcamp one. In December, they switched to Bootcamp, with
happy results.
I recommend Bootcamp over Parallels or VirtualBox for our kind of work.

Hi, John -
I've run FrameMaker under both Parallels and VMware Fusion but have only
used in on a Windows platform for the last several years. I may soon be in
a position to use a Mac again. I'm curious about your preference for
Bootcamp (which I've never used). I would also love to hear from other
Framers on this topic.
Thanks.

In other news, we are also a Mac house. Over three years of
trial-and-error, we have determined that our best setup is Bootcamp on the
Mac, not Parallels and not VirtualMachine.

Hello,
Does anyone use FrameMaker and then integrate that documentation with
Salesforce?
I'm 1 of 1-1/2 technical writers at a start up that creates cloud apps
for Salesforce. We are currently using Salesforce Knowledge to create
and deliver our documentation. Knowledge is possibly the worst
documentation tool I have ever used. We've been looking at various
single-sourcing solutions, and we're down to MadCap Flare and FrameMaker.
I'm a FrameMaker user from way back - I started with FM+SGML 5.5 in
1999. I developed templates and tools for FM+SGML and FM+XML from
1999-2005. I've used FM 12 in an unstructured environment, and am
happy to see the improvements. I'm not sure how many improvements
there have been in the structured environment, however. I've tried to
contact Adobe, and have gotten a human being to say he'll give my
questions to a solutions specialist to answer. Knowing Adobe, I'm not
going to hold my breath.
My questions are:
- Is anyone here writing doc for Salesforce or Salesforce apps? If so,
what tools do you use?
- Is there a good comparison of the most recent versions of Flare v.
FM?
The only ones I've been able to find are from several years ago.
- Is anyone here using FM+XML (either v12 or 2015) who could answer
some
specific questions I have about it?
We're a Mac house, so I can't just download the trial versions. We
understand that we will need to get me set up with a VM and Windows to
use the software we choose.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
~Robyn
