Virtualization

Recommended Posts

Parallels and VMware Fusion both let you emulate a Windows OS and environment. With both, you can either run the actual Windows OS in a virtual machine window, or you can just run Windows programs side by side with Mac programs. Both of those are virtualization technologies.

*****

There are 2 other software technologies that I want to outline:

 

CrossOver

 

This is another software that is in the same market as VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop. It does basically the same thing, but its not as popular as the other two.

Boot Camp

 

This is software officially made and supported by Apple that lets you dual boot Mac OS X and Windows XP SP2 on the Intel macs. This is ntot virtualization software. Its a simple tool to install Windows on your Intel Mac (dual boot).
