I am a student and i have lived without many programs which i only have windows versions of for ages so i am looking at running windows xp. I am only really interested in running parallels or vmware as for example for photoshop i will want to look up stuff in iPhoto etc. So i want to ask:
1) Is it worth using boot camp to sett it up and then import this into the emulator (i presume you can) then if i really need the speed i can boot in windows. However when I turn my mac on i sometimes leave it too start up so does mac osx boot unless you tell it to boot in windows or do you need to choose every time.
2) What one shall i pick? Parallels or vmware? The apple genius said he uses vmware after using parallel and that they supply free updates and that parallels do not. Is this true.
3) In demos of parallels i have seen cohesion where you can use expose etc as normal. Is there a similar feature in vmware.
4) (nothing to do with above) I read somewhere that you should have different partitions for you documents and your system and that this will make start up faster is this true. What does everyone else do?
Any advice will be helpful or links will be helpful
Sorry about the spellings and grammar
I forgot to add an option for a mixture
Thanx in advance
