Hello everyone. I am planning to buy a Mac (probably MacBook Pro 13" 2011 which I would upgrade to SSD SATA 3 and 16 GB of memory) and since some software works only on Windows I am planning to add them as well. So because of that I have couple of questions:
1) Is performance of Windows trough Boot Camp much better than VMware or Parallels?
2) How is MacBook computer responding in Boot Camp Windows? Does it respond the same as non-Mac would with this kind of hardware configuration?
3 a) 64-bit MacBook Pro and 32-bit Windows (in VMware / Parallels / Boot Camp). Does that (different bits) work OK?
3 b) Are files compatible on both (64 + 32-bit) systems?
4) Are all files accessible between a) OSX b) Boot Camp Win c) VMware/Parallels Win? How do the win “partitions” work in that case?
5) How is with Copy – Paste? Can you do that from Virtual Windows to OSX (and vice versa)?
6) How is with hardware drivers when installing Windows (Parallels and Boot Camp), do I have to search for any or is everything prepared?
7) And finally, VMware or Parallels? What are the pros and cons of them?
