Hi, I am most likely getting a new mac for the holiday season, but I have some questions about transfer and backup. My plan is to purchase an iMac and paralells desktop switch to mac edition to transfer my things from my old pc to the mac along with windows xp. Paralells says something about sharing a my documents folder but I'm not sure if it means all the files transferred will be shared with my mac os (so if all my music is transferred from the pc will it be stuck in the xp side of my mac?)
also on the side of backup storage, is buying the time capsule the way to go? is there a way to backup the windows part of my mac using it? or do other external hard drives work with the macs time machine software (time capsule look very expensive, considering I won't need the air port part since an air port is built into the mac)
