  • 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! :grin:

    @Vijay,
    BootCamp is good one but this has better file sharing features.

  • hmmm I don’t have a Mac… :sad:

  • @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. :grin:

  • I too don’t have a mac, :sad:

  • Well, I’d prefer using BootCamp for a paid software I guess!
