[Hidden-tech] parallels / bootcamp question

[David Korpiewski]

Yes, you will have to install Windows on your Mac.   Bootcamp is using 
Windows as your regular operating system (no Mac OSX at all).   Its 
basically a dual boot machine.   Parallels is a little different. 
Parallels takes Windows and runs it on your mac.  So you have two 
operating systems running at the same time.

I have heard, although have never tried, that VMWare will allow you to 
run Windows on the Mac but have the Windows programs appear in regular 
mac "windows" (for lack of a better word).  So the Windows programs look 
like they are running directly under the mac.

Good luck!
David
