Windows is a necessary evil. I’ll have to run Windows for work/games; otherwise my Tiger/Leopard is fine.
There are 4 different ways wherein you can run Windows stuffs on your OS X.
BootCamp that comes with Mac OS does this fn. as well. Also, it comes bundled with Leopard.
@Ashwin,
You cant escape Windows!
@Vijay,
BootCamp is good one but this has better file sharing features.
hmmm I don’t have a Mac…
@Indyankk,
Even I too dont have a Mac, but I have used it quite a few times in office. We have lots of Macs here.
I too don’t have a mac,
Well, I’d prefer using BootCamp for a paid software I guess!
