Well, I'll have to change my vote...I decided to install Parallels after getting Boot Camp all set up, and was impressed enough by the performance to keep it. It's a bit of a pain …

They're working on it, or so they say. I wouldn't think it would be all that hard to implement.

You can put the virtual Parallels drive on the Boot Camp partition. (Or at least Parallels says I can, cuz I have it formatted as FAT32.) You can't use the native Boot Camp install…

P.S. On my MacBook 2.0, I can play back 720p 30 fps H.264 video at about half the frame rate. Not bad. Quote: Originally Posted by Macola For me, it's well worth $40...even …

I'm thinking $40-$50 is a good price, but $80 is too much. I maybe will have to preorder it as well. I'm spending a lot more on this macbook than I anticipated. ($200 for RAM, $15…

i want to just install XP to use Slingbox . . . do i need to install bootcamp? or can I just install parallels? or do i have install both?

Parallels was damn buggy when I used it. It locked the whole computer and other times it got really really slow. So I trashed it. Bootcamp works 100% (minus the isight)

I plan on using both... have a MBP on the way which I want to use for some dev work on settop boxes (part of my thesis on IPTV) . The dev tools that I need are on windows and som…

Using both here. Parallels for Visual Studio development and BootCamp for games. I've shut down my PC for good ;-) I've had no problems with Parallels, and the performance isn't…

I paid the early price for Parallels. Still haven't been able to get it to boot any of three different versions of Windows. Requests for help have not been answered. I figure I …

That sounds odd...why don't you post some details and we may be able to help. Many of us here are running XP without a hitch (SP2, anyway) and I also run Ubuntu 5.x without any pro…

Glad this thread is here. I am on the verge of an upgrade: MBP vs. MacPro if it comes out in August. My biggest PC need is for work. I need to use a VPN connection to log in to…

I'll put my vote in for Parallels... The thing I do not like about BootCamp is that you can only use Win XP Full Version with it. Not only is that limiting (primarily because in…

Thanks for the input. I did some reading- looks like 1920x1200 resolution is not yet supported in parallels, but it will be soon. My biggest fear is that I will be running parall…

Cadaver, aren't you a radiologist? Are you using parallels or bootcamp to get into your hospital? I have to VPN into mine, and I've read that there are some issues with VPN and p…

I hear that using Parallels brings your videocard memory down to 8 megs under a different OS. So I would use Boot Camp if I had an Intel Mac.

We use Cisco VPN to get into Clinical Desktop. ClinDesk uses a plugin for Ultravisual. Ever heard of these apps?
