Hi Donna, It's really up to what you need to be able to do.
I've got 2 mac book devices A 2013 air and a brand new mac book pro 13. On my air I have windows 10 running in boot camp and it is my primary machine as I use windows primarily for most things. On my mac book pro I've just setup vm fusion 10 pro with windows 10 for now but will also setup a indows 7 machine as well for work The fusion vm's let me flick back and forward between the different machines which my colleagues are using on iMacs The only thing I don't like thus far about fusion is that I can't by default use the caps lock key as my jaws key and at the moment I'm having issues trying to setup a jaws key in my fusion vm's so am stuck with my vm's in desktop mode. Other than that I'm using the windows machines with domain based authentication and that's just for access to some domain based services for work. So really it comes down to what you need o be doing -----Original Message----- From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 24 July 2018 1:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Bootcamp versus Fusion? Good morning, all, I am fast coming to a computer crossroads, so thought I would seek some input from the list. My job relies heavily on using MS Word. I do a lot of document sharing, so use Comments and Track Changes extensively. Though it may be because I'm not doing something right, I haven't found using Pages to be satisfactory. The interface for reading comments and changes in Windows seems smoother, and i also notice that when I move documents between Pages and Word, the fonts don't seem to transfer, i.e. Mac doesn't seem to see Windows fonts and vice versa. I have a PC that I bought back in 2010. It continues to limp along, so that has primarily been the computer I use for work stuff. But it's starting to grumble a little more than it used to, so I'm planning now for the day that it actually gives up the ghost. One option is of course to just buy another inexpensive PC. But I'm wondering about whether it's time to just buck up and install either bootcamp or Fusion. Fusion is appealing because it would preserve the option to run Windows and Mac simultaneously. I would be interested to hear thoughts on how both options work in High Sierra, and if anyone can speak to it, Mojave. The things I would do in Windows are pretty limited. Mostly, Word, Duxbury, K1000--which could conceivably be replaced with ABBYY on the Mac--and some web browsing when I can't get sites to play nice on the Mac. thanks for any and all input.
