Ok one of my friends is finally considering a Mac. Since I don't know a lot about the questions he is asking I am coming to you. His first question is about Boot Camp. Maybe it was due to me, but he thinks Boot Camp is a complex thing. I told him that Boot Camp just makes a separate partition on the HD that you set and install windows on it. Could someone go into detail exactly how Boot Camp works in order for him to understand. Now he has a network setup where his Vaio laptop can share a printer wirelessly with his desktop. While I know this can be done on a Mac as well, I am not so sure on the Mac-Windows sharing capability with this setup. Can someone also explain how he can get the Vaio laptop to talk to the Mac. Thanks. He is considering the Mac Pro and the iMac.
