kocoman Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Why no one run Mac under Windows via Parallels or Vmware or PearPC? Isn't there some gamers who must use windows, but don't want to reboot all the time?? I always hear the other way around...

robotskip Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Uh, what exactly do you mean? That no one can run MacOS in a VM on Windows? Because.. they can. I've done it myself and was actually how I installed 10.4.7-9 on my old PC, I went the VMWare to native route.

kocoman Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 What about Leopard with EFI? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80883-why-no-one-run-mac-under-windows-via-parallels-or-vmware-or-pearpc/#findComment-574400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 They don't run it because it's useless. Who the hell in the world would use Leopard in a VM when it's about slaggish in native mode?

robotskip Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 What about Leopard with EFI? thanksNo idea, like Sherry Haibara said, it seems kind of silly. Though, before I bought my SATA DVD driver I was messing with installing Leopard in VMWare and I managed to get to the grey loading screen. For me though, performance with 10.4.x under a VM was actually pretty good but I don't know how Leopard would fair, and my current Leo install isn't sluggish either.

jjduro Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Haven't used Windows natively on my laptop since I bought it, January 2007. Why the hell should I? I'm not using it for the games. And almost everything is compatible between OSX, Linux and Windows. Why no one run Mac under Windows via Parallels or Vmware or PearPC? Isn't there some gamers who must use windows, but don't want to reboot all the time?? I always hear the other way around...
