Hi guys, I want your opinions and knowledge on this if possible.
I have an 11" base MBA 2013. 4GB/128GB/i5
At college, we're starting to use Microsoft Access and Frontpage etc.. Things that AREN'T on the Mac. It doesn't help that we're using the 2003 version at college either - making most native Mac apps even more incompatible.. :S
So I was thinking of buying a copy of Windows 8 (LEGALLY ofc), so 1, where could I get this at the lowest price..
2, What's the best way on a machine to run this? VirtualBox, Paralells, VMware or Boot Camp...
I know one of them allows me to 'merge' Windows with the Mac, but I don't know which. This would be extremely handy.. however running Windows fullscreen/on its own partition would be good too.
Also, I'm a bit feared of partitioning SSDs as partitioning them can affect the 'level' read/writing on them etc..
Plus, with 128GB, the way I install Windows should be thought out with this in mind..
Thanks
