[QUOTE="le premier, post: 210812, member: 13837"] I have played around with Boot Camp and Parallels for the the last couple of weeks, not on a supremely professional level but mainly on a user friendly level and have found (for what suits ME and only ME) is that although Parallels seems to work faster and has the great advantage of being able to switch rapidly from one OS to the other, what you can do with it may be, at the moment limited. I basically want to connect with a program in Windows that requires the use of MS ActiveSync. It works fine with Boot Camp, no hang ups at all, but with Parallels basically not at all. I have tried with 3.8, 4.1 and 4.2 MS ActiveSync versions and all results are the same. I have spoken with a local Apple centre, not at all biased of course (!!!), and the only explanation they can offer is that Boot Camp is an Apple product for the Mac and Parallels is in it's present state third party software (always a potential hazard with Windows!!). So until Boot Camp becomes fully integrated and hopefully "switchable" or Parallels becomes more compatible............!! Any input please........ [/QUOTE]
