Do you bootcamp?

[NickPhamUK]

And why? For me, cuz:
1. I *cough cough* play games.
2. I need some Windows-only apps.
3. I think Windows 8 is awesome.
4. I'm awesome.
5. Bacon.

 

[Unhyper]

Absolutely not.

 

[maflynn]

I have little need to use bootcamp. If I need to use a windows app, then I have VMware fusion.

 

[Shrink]

Nope, no need.

No need for Windows stuff...

 

[hakr100]

No, I use VMware Fusion to boot up Quicken on Windows 7, and only because there isn't *one* checkbook program for Mac OSX that runs as well and prints checks, and isn't in some other important way crippled by its developers. Even Quicken's Mac version of Quicken...sucks.

 

[offgray]

I used to. If I need to use both OSes, I just turn on my Windows Desktop. All of my files are shared on my network anyway, so... Yeah.

 

[swerve147]

Yes, mainly for gaming and for the better versions of MS Office.

 

[MatthewAMEL]

Gaming. I'm on the road 17-18 days a month.

Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas and others help me maintain my sanity in yet another Marriott.

 

[Steelseries]

All my apps are mac-compatible, even my games run natively on mac. No need for bootcamp.

 

[devilcm3]

i wish all windows games are on mac, then I swallowed a reality pill and installed Windows8.

A waste of good space in my SSD, but then ... i just need to play some games =P

I play Skyrim too, but the Mac (Wine) version sucks donkey balls. Many other games that are released for Mac (like WoW, Starcraft 2 etc.) runs a hell lot better in Windows. Sad truth

 

[mneblett]

Not anymore -- Parallels 8 now; no need to BootCamp.

 

[borgqueens]

yep I use it.

For games

 

[Yahooligan]

I do but only for one game; The Secret World. This is the one game I play that was unplayable in Parallels. For everything else it's either a VM or CrossOver.

 

[leman]

Gaming. For software developing and testing I just use Parallels.

 

[Kirihuna]

Yep.

256GB SSD split in half. Should be more than enough for the foreseeable future.

Considering getting a 500GB TB external to just load purely games / movies on it so then I can just plug that in to play any game I want.

 

[Xerotech]

Still on 7, 8 is ghey.

 

[fatlardo]

I do more for gaming. But recently Dota 2 was available for mac so I dunno if I should leave win7 on there. Only reason I booty camped.

Dota 2 is apparently more stable on Windows compared to Mac.

 

[srsub3]

to use some programs I had to install windows... damned work! I cannot understand why developers have a linux version and aren't interested in Macs..

 

[Zeov]

yes.

1. For gaming.

2. Working with 3D in Maya (i know theres a Mac version, but w/e)

 

[S.B.G]

I have it on the MBP, and that was for playing SimCity before the Mac version was released. I'm going to leave it on there because I may need Windows for something else later on.

 

[John Kotches]

No.

I use parallels for the couple of windows only programs I use.

 

[Acronyc]

I do, though not often. Mainly I have a bootcamp partition to mess around in Windows 8 and do a bit of gaming. It's been nice to see more OS X releases lately, though. Less of a reason to boot into Windows.

 

[Agent-P]

Bootcamp in tandem with Parallels tapping into that same bootcamp partition.
