[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 543738, member: 24160"] So, did you print and read the manuals? You're never going to know until you install it whether it is for you or not. Read the manual, install it and give it a try. Parallels or VMWare Fusion, either one, both give you free trial period to check it out. Both of them will use your Bootcamped windows installation without needing to re-install windows again. Just to be very, very clear, Parallels or VMWare are applications that run in OS X like any other app. They just allow you to run windows apps. You like one of em keep it, you don't, uninstall it and go back to re-booting. Bottom line: You either dislike the need to re-boot enough to give one of them a shot and pay for it or you don't. Personally, I reboot. But extremely rare. A lot of people like both of these apps and I've tried them both using my bootcamped windows install. Just isn't worth the cash to me unless I find the need to boot into windows any more often than I do now. [/QUOTE]
