[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 714235, member: 21101"] There are literally thousands of guides on the internet for this. You haven't stated the specs of your Mac, but assuming you have an Intel Mac and assuming you have at least 8 GBs of free HDD space, you can install Windows XP via Bootcamp. You must use a retail version of XP that is Service Pack 2 or better. [url]http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/[/url] Alternatively, you could use a Virtual Machine, and use Visual Studio via this, giving you the advantage of not having to reboot when you need to use a Windows app. I would recommend a minimum of 2GBs of RAM if you're going to use Parallels or VM Fusion. [url]http://forum.parallels.com/thread1788.html[/url] Check out the above for performance. The thread is old and is when Parallels was in Beta, so performance now will be a lot better. Parallels can run any version of Windows, including Vista, if you have enough RAM. [/QUOTE]
