I have Windows 10 on Bootcamp. While I very rarely boot into Windows directly, Windows 7 and 10 both run very well on the Apple hardware. I have mostly accessed the Bootcamp partition using VirtualBox until I upgraded to 10, then the VirtualBox Vm stopped working. Until could get it working ag

Hi Pat, I got my MacBook Pro in November 2012. First I asked for a Windows machine. That was rejected.

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 ot
