Hello, i have just ordered MBA i5/8/256 and would like to ask some questions related bootcamp because I'm totally newbie with mac os and Mac. What would you advice to install on my MBA? Win 7 or win 8, for less bugs? Don't care about metro and etc. only need windows for some specific applications like packet tracer, autocad and similar.
Also can i buy any external dvd rom or i need apple superdriver?
Also have read that there is some serious problems with MBA 2013 and bootcamp- wifi isnt working, keyboard and trackpad isnt working?
Or maybe parallel would be better choice?
Maybe anyone successed in installing windows on MBA 2013
Thanks

Both work just fine. I run Win 7 x64 in Bootcamp and I also run Parallels. I run WinXP, Win8.1, and even Win95, Windows 2000, Windows 3.11 and DOS. :D
