[Hidden-tech] Bootcamp vs Parallel

[Jason Miranda]

Hi Donna,

I've used both Parallels and Bootcamp. For the past couple of years though, I've run VMWare Fusion rather than Parallels — I've found it faster and more stable. But it seems people have different experiences with each. I prefer the virtualization software over Bootcamp because I can jump between Windows and Mac quickly. With Bootcamp, I believe, you need to restart when you want to switch between OSes. Though some people do create a Bootcamp partition on their drive for Windows, then use Parallels or VmWare Fusion to run it — there's some or was some slight advantage to doing that.

Happy to answer any other questions about my experience.

Best,
Jason
