Boot Camp, Parallels, VirtualBox Or Fusion?
In a recent article on Australian LifeHacker.com they discussed the following question, I trust the SU group more then the anonymous answers from LifeHacker and I thought I would re-ask it here?
I’m sitting here with my MacBook Pro and a copy of Windows 7, wanting to combine the two into the ultimate blogging machine. But how to do it?
I could go the cheap option of Boot Camp, which only lets me boot one OS at a time, and is free. Or I could spring for a copy of Parallels or VMWare Fusion to do the whole virtual machine thing.
So the question today is which should I choose? Either because you want to know what the process is like, or because you recommend the solution – either one is fine by me.
EDIT: Work is paying too; so don't worry about price affecting your choice!
Sort of. But Vmware workstation does not exist for a mac. There is something called Fusion, but I am not sure how well that compares. – Hennes – 2012-11-07T18:16:16.660
OP: Just what does 'the ultimate blogging machine' mean? – Hennes – 2012-11-07T18:17:41.480
