Hi guys. I am switching soon in fact, when Leopard comes out
For some windows apps I was considering to buy Parallels and only use the coherence mode. I would skin my Ms Windows XP windows with an apple skin, so the programs would look like "native mac programs"
Anyways, here are my questions:
I am using Linux rightnow and ever since I've used linux I was trying to get my VM to run my native windows installation (which I dualbooted through GRUB)
but I didn't get it to work. So now I was wondering if I could do this on my mac with Parallels:
*) Install Windows through bootcamp
*) and then, use the native bootcamp installation also in the parallels VM.
That would be GREAT!
Is that possible? - I can't find any info about it on the parallels web page. maybe I've not looked close enough
Last question:
For financial issues, what would YOU do? Would you buy a copy of Windows XP Home or would you buy Windows XP Professional?
Thanks for any comments!
