Barry,

Vista Crome and User Account stuff can all be turned off.

I have UAC and Aero both off and it runs fine.

back to Windows.


I've been looking at turning over my laptop for a new one soon ...

.. but due to a couple of key Adobe applications that are Windows only
and don't seem to work on an Intel Mac, I may have to say goodbye to
OS X. Shame.

Sure Windows XP is still available but to be honest, for future
proofing, it probably makes more sense to get a laptop with Vista.

the trouble is, everytime someone shows me Vista's swish UI and
desktop, I just want to vomit!

I'm not at all interested in swooshy interfaces. A decent file
manager, drag and drop and plug'n'pray is all I really need to cut
code and get stuff happening.

For all you vista users, can the over-the-top Vista chrome be turned
off so it's just a plane-jane O/S? The first thing I do with a WinXP
install it to turn it into Windows Classic. I don't mean I want to
be using one of the cripple-ware stripped down versions of Vista, just
that I can't see the point in having some fancy piece of rubbish
hogging resources.

if it wasn't for the Windows problem, I'd probably just use FreeBSD and
KDE...

thoughts?
thanx

sadly no.

these particullar apps (from what I can work out), are not only made
just for Windows, but call down heavily into the hardware. It's the
emulation that they don't work with.

they may in fact work in a fashion under emulation on an Intel Mac,
but it comes with no guarentee, and I can't afford the risk.

 Would having windows (XP) like this for those Adobe apps be a good enough

So a $60k per year full time person would be on $86 per hour?

I'm not sure how realistic this is.

That would have a $90k employee earning $129 per hour.

How many people here are earning that kind of money. Most contractors I know
earn a lot less than that.

Typically Contractor Rates are about 3 time the normal hourly rate one would
expect for the same person in a permanent role with the said experience.

Thats a fairly vague rule that is probably more applicaple to senior
developers with industry certifications.

2007-11-16 Thread MrBuzzy
Barry, I reckon Parallels+Bootcamp on Mac-Intel would work pretty well for
you. I had this set up running nicely on my MacbookPro (before it died). The
'emulation' as you put it was highly compatible.

You can dual boot to windows using bootcamp. Or, use parallels to load the
same os partition inside osx.

The problem I found was performance. Say you're running a CF server in the
Windows VM, but you're browsing/developing in osx - the networking (virtual
nat?) between the two is quite slow. Did anyone else notice this?

[cfaussie] Re: Friday arvo O.T - thinking of giving up Apple and going back to Windows.

2007-11-16 Thread Barry Beattie

just recently someone has said this for one of the two Adobe products
I'm needing to cater for

Runs under VMWare's Fusion, but not Parallels 3.0.
No, there are no current plans for an OS X port.

and that's from an Adobe staffer. And there's absolutely no support
for the product if it's NOT run under WinXP or Vista.

this is because (as I said before) the software calls down deep into
the hardware via Windows. Adding another layer into there is just
asking for trouble.

 I either don't use that Adobe software or I don't use a Mac. Not much
in the options stakes.

2007-11-16 Thread Barry Beattie

Sounds like you've already decided

more, sounds like the decision has been made for me. It's not a
willing decision.

So what are these deep down Adobe products?

there's quite a few Adobe products that are only offered for the
Windows platform. Most have some sort of connection with the hardware,
mostly the video card. Some can be successfully be run on a Mac-tel
under Windows, but certainly not all, as I'm finding out.

this day was due to arrive for a while now - ever since Apple moved
(officially) to Intel. The easy way out now that I see coming is use
Windows on a Mac will be the whipping-boy to not offer products on
both platform but to expect users to install two O/S's on the same
machine and switch between them.

I've already (unofficially) heard a Microsofty offer that as a
solution for products offered on only a single platform.

Lots of people have both O/S on their Mac-Tel machines - by choice.
Soon there won't be choice. Microsoft has won the O/S war thanks to
Apple - it can now reach into Apple hardware where previously it could
never go.

But try and get a guarentee from Microsoft, Apple or Adobe that the
software will run correctly under Windows on a Mac, and it'll be hard.
Some stuff, yes. the two products I'm needing ... not so far...


thanx for the info guys. At least I know I can have a boring,
bare-bones Windows install.
