[Finale] Finale/Windows on the Mac

2013-10-22 Thread Jari Williamsson
Hello!

I'm planning to get a new portable computer and I'm thinking of a 
MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop to run Finale plug-ins in the Windows 
environment. I know that this is a configuration most users don't have, 
but has anyone here run Finale/Windows on Parallels Desktop with good 
results?


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson

I do software development using Fusion (which I think is basically the same
as Parallels). You should expand your physical memory so that both OS's
have enough to run comfortably at the same time. I have not encountered any
incompatibilities with Fusion, but I suspect the same would be true of
Parallels. You can set up a shared drive so that you only have one copy of
source code.

Another advantage, at least of Fusion, is that in addition to setting up a
virtual Windows, you can also set up a virtual MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Recently I've been using that more than Windows, so that I can occasionally
run programs compiled for PPC (like my outdated Windows compiler: hah!).
Apple permits virtualization of Snow Leopard Server, and they started
selling the Server package for just $20.
