Hello.
Marian, you're right about boot camp and testing your product in the
environment it will be running in, however Virtualization (especially
with Parallels) has some very strong benefits. I like it since I'm
able to work between Mac and Windows almost seamlessly, creating
photoshop documents on the Mac and then programming a project with
those files on the PC. If I were using Boot camp, I wouldn't have the
luxury of dragging from Mac OS X and dropping into my windows
development. I've also used my virtual machines when needing to run
an app in OS X but also having to use a Windows only application
simultaneously.
The real question you need to answer when choosing betwen
virtualization and boot camp is do you need to interoperate? If you
can live with just Windows running, then Boot camp will work just
fine. If, however, you need to interoperate or you may need to create
several machines, Virtualization is your solution. Revolution should
function identically between the two, since the only serious
shortcoming of Virtualization is the lack of GPU access and
Revolution doesn't need such control. Do remember, however, that
Vista can only run under virtualization if you are running the higher-
end licenses (Business and Ultimate, I think), so unless you have one
of those licenses, you won't be able to do Vista testing within any
virtual environment.
Thanks,

If you're going to fork over $$ to get Windows, why run it in
Parallels. Why not just use Boot Camp? My thinking is that I'd
like to have a full Windows install identical (except for Mac
drivers) to what my customers will be using, rather than testing in
a virtualized environment.
But that's just my 2 cents worth.

Mark, I'm about to do the same and am looking at "Cross Over Mac" at:

It appears that it's still quite THERE, but I like the idea of not
having to have Windows.

Parallels with Rev? Comments? Suggestions?
