Title: Best way to run windows software on a mac? Post by: mtmerrick on March 10, 2012, 05:06:50 pm So my uncle has a 15" 4:3 core 2 duo MacBook pro running lion. He called me the other day, and asked if i could help him make his Mac run windows programs. I told him I'd have to double check how but I could do it fairly easily. After doing a little reasearch, I didn't find any new methods, but was even more confused as to what will give the best overall performance, without dual booting into windows 7.
The two main ones I'm considering are WINE and Parallels, but I know there are other methods. But what would give the best overall performance? I know there are Mac users here, so I hope you can help. :) Title: Re: Best way to run windows software on a mac?

I use VmWare Fusion 4, and it works nicely. However, I'm considering switching to Parallels. -Canama Title: Re: Best way to run windows software on a mac?

Yes, try VMWare fusion. It's very good :D |
