Bootcamp (Mountain Lion)

[guklein]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to install Windows XP or Windows 8 using Bootcamp.

My OS X is Mountain Lion.

Thanks!

Windows XP and Windows 8 are not currently supported with Boot Camp version 4.0.

Link.

Have you looked into virtual machines? i.e Parallels etc

Which one is the best? Parallels or VMWare?

I have never used them so can't really comment. Hopefully someone else will chip in with their experiences.

I'd go with Parallels. Whats apps are you going to run in the VM?

Whilst not supported, Windows 8 can be done. As can Vista. Windows XP may not work (haven't tried it) depending on your hardware though.

I'd give virtualbox a try first up as it is free.

I would like to run one small apps and to have access in one website that just work with windows...and just it!

And I have a Windows XP from an old PC.

Suggestions?

Windows XP from an old PC may not work if it is an OEM version, but you can give it a try.

If its a small app that doesn't do anything funky with 3d, i'd certainly try it in virtualbox, as it is free and works well enough for most stuff.

I think it is an OEM version. It is very old (2005). Would it work with virtualbox?
