I have all macs also, I went out and bought a 300 dollar pc laptop. It sucks but then it works, I tried many times to get it to work on the mac but it wouldn't.

Why not just put VMware or parallels on your Mac and that way you can run windows or Mac OSx

IIRC VirtualBox supports hardware passthrough, so you could install Windows with that and use it. Free (except for the license cost of Windows).

Idk, I tried some stuff like that but just bought a computer as it was easiest and I kind of needed a pc here and there.

Caswell, where do you live? If you're near Minnesota I'd be happy to help you out. I'm a software developer who runs a ton of VMs, so it's no problem to do it.

Nope I'm northern Canada. I remember my fiancé has a little net book she uses for school that has windows. So ill just use that thing for now. Thanks!

dual boot that Mac...

Run VMWare Fusion - Only good thing about owning a Mac. You ran run both OS's at the same time.

Caswell239 · 11-27-2012, 06:03 PM

Hmm, is it free off the net? Simple to setup?

I've tried Parallels, VMWare & Crossover. Boot Camp is by far the best way to go and comes with Lion / Mountain Lion...
