[QUOTE="Neo, post: 527602, member: 36256"] I would like to see someone that is using Parallels answer this one. I have seen similar network/printer hangups using Fusion and I've worked through them. I don't know the Parallels interface though. I haven't ever had a problem installing software on virtual Windows with Fusion. MookieMoo, I don't think you'll be happy with BootCamp after you've had a virtual machine. Changing between Windows and Mac requires a reboot, and if you've got software split between the two systems, it's big hassle. I use both OS's (mostly Mac though). My home computer has Fusion, and my work computer has BootCamp. I'm much more productive on my home computer, since I can use my Windows apps at the same time, leaving my Mac-side work running. That said, BootCamp does give your Windows access to more of your computer's RAM and enables you to run DirectX 10(?) Research it if that's a concern. Finally, it is possible to run a virtual machine from a BootCamp partition. Best of both worlds, perhaps? [/QUOTE]
