Re: Slightly off topic - Pros and con of moving to an Apple machine
I’ve been using a Mac non stop for 9 years now during and post working for Microsoft and its never once got in my way.. Cons - azure emulators Dont 100% support the MAC way of life - visual studio on a Mac is not the same as pc so you will have a ide shock initially - all Help / tutorials etc assume your always running a pc Pros - bash commands are pure - docker containers are really your way in out of pc land (mssql on a Mac is fine) - ide aren’t as bloated - aspnet core etc don’t feel 2nd class - power down / up isn’t a hostage negotiation tactic where as windows it’s always one issue or another (updates etc) On Sat, Mar 16, 2019 at 1:00 PM, Preet Sangha wrote: > Thanks.

I have on the iMac and the missus has it on the MacBook. You can put it into a mode where the OS X and Windows desktops are intermingled together in a way that is completely bewildering so you don't know what button you're clicking in which OS. Great feature?! It's about $130/year for the pro version. I had pro for 4 years but cancelled renewal when I realised I was using none of the pro features. I look forward to it expiring and all the VMs breaking for some hidden reason. Coincidentally, this morning I tried to share the Parallels folder on the iMac so I could copy the VM files from it to a Windows backup folder. Well, 40 minutes later after following all the instructions, I get stuck at the Windows password prompt to access the shared iMac. I try every user and password in Christendom and they all fail. I give up. *Greg K* > -- --- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.riagenic.com

Thanks. We have plenty of those I was just wondering if I needed to install a copy or it came with parallels.

Yes, you do need a license, if you don't have a corporate license//msdn etc On Sat, Mar 16, 2019, 12:44 Preet Sangha wrote: > I see that parallels is VM software.I assume that I will need a windows 10 > license to go with it? > > regards, > Preet, in Auckland NZ > > > > On Sat, 16 Mar 2019 at 14:02, Greg Keogh wrote: > >> >> Parallels will let you run windows oses, mostly just a matter of having a >>> powerful enough machine, either way. >>> >> >> Parallels is good.

Re: Slightly off topic - Pros and con of moving to an Apple machine
I see that parallels is VM software.I assume that I will need a windows 10 license to go with it? regards, Preet, in Auckland NZ On Sat, 16 Mar 2019 at 14:02, Greg Keogh wrote: > > Parallels will let you run windows oses, mostly just a matter of having a >> powerful enough machine, either way. >> > > Parallels is good.

I originally read that as Band Camp and was mightily confused. Thank you. regards, Preet, in Auckland NZ On Sat, 16 Mar 2019 at 12:48, Alan Ingleby wrote: > Get top spec Macbook and set up bootcamp.

Parallels will let you run windows oses, mostly just a matter of having a powerful enough machine, either way.

Get top spec Macbook and set up bootcamp. Best of both worlds!

Slightly off topic - Pros and con of moving to an Apple machine
I am starting with a new role in a few weeks and I've been asked the question if want a windows or apple laptop. I do .net development but it's all still framework not core. but we're moving in that direction. I'm thinking of using this opportunity to finally start working on a 'unixy' machine for the first time in my career. Would it be a major PITA working on MacOS for framework development? regards, Preet, in Auckland NZ
