[Hidden-tech] Windows for a Mac

[David Spound]

Parallels has worked great for me. It is very convenient to use Windows
without needing to reboot.

I bought a reasonably inexpensive copy of Windows XP at Yes Computers in
Northampton. I think it was about $100. That was before Vista came out. I am
content with XP for now, and I would not want Vista until there have been
some updates. Also, I believe that only the most expensive version of Vista
can run legitimately in Parallels (licensing issue), so if you want to run a
cheaper version of Vista, you will need to use Bootcamp.
