I am seeking advice from anyone on our list who has used Apple¹s Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop to run Windows on their Mac. I would like to know if you recommend one over the other and why. I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and would like to install Boot Camp or Parallels as soon as it arrives (I know I will have to buy Windows, too). My primary interest in having Windows is to view Web pages in IE that I have created on my Mac. Since Parallels desktop can run simultaneously with Mac OS X, it would seem to be the more convenient solution. However, I interested in finding out if one works better than the other. After many years of running Soft PC and Virtual PC, I am pleased to be able to run Windows at a reasonable speed. Also, I will want to protect my Windows OS from the many maladies that one can download. What sort of protective software would be advisable? Please note that I have no plans to use Microsoft Office for Windows or receive email in Windows. Thank you for any advice you can offer. David ++++++++++ David Spound, M.Ed.
