Boot Camp and Virtualization


Boot Camp and Virtualization

Postby chuck » Apr 6, 2006 @ 6:44pm

Okay, what's your opinion on Apple's release yesterday of Boot Camp, which offers full driver support and the ability to dual boot XP and OSX easily on intel Mac and today's beta release of virtualization software that should allow XP to run inside OSX at "nearly" full speed.

Is it a good thing? Does it spell the end of OSX software? Tried it?

It's a great thing.

VS.NET in OSX for the win.

I have to buy a PowerMac now. :)

Finder, if you have properly organized files, is great. I've never been bothered by it.

I've had the same experience with OSX as Jaybot. It's entirely counter-intuitive for me. One time I was typing and bumped the mouse and all the sudden the windows that were opened started to become transparent and switch around and I had no idea what was going on. And changing the background wallpaper took my 5 minutes. I still don't know where I'm supposed to put images to make them background images.
