Mac Vs. PC

[Eric Piercey]

I haven't used bootcamp or parallels and don't have leopard. (waiting on the new Mac Pro's) but from what I understand Bootcamp is a separate boot partition whereas Parallels runs windows in the same session as OSX. I think I'd prefer the latter, but as I said I've not experienced either.

I haven't used either either (I'm stuck in PPC-land), but I thought Parallels uses your Windows partition (via Bootcamp) through OSX, so you still need a separate Windows partition (it's not Virtual PC) but you can use it in a window in OSX. Is this true?

I would chose windows as you cant play games on a MAC, nor is their alot of software.

What a ignorant post. CAN'T Play Games? Nor is there a lot of software? BS!

I know sarcasm can be hard to identify sometimes, but we're laying it on pretty thick in this thread.

and if you are a total nerd, build a custom windoze box and hack it to run leopard...

I don't know, but perhaps there are Parallels users out there that will tell us how it works?

All of the above, i.e. a Mac Pro triple-booting OS X, Linux and Windows XP.
