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.  |
Talk To Me Quote Archive I've got no place to go, I've got nowhere to run.
They love to watch me fall, they think they know it all.
I'm a nightmare, a disaster, that's what they always said.
I'm a lost cause, not a hero, but I'll make it on my own.
I've gotta prove them wrong - It's me against the world. It is, in the end, whatever the **** I want it to be.
And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole this wide
straight through the worlds own idea of itself.
...
Come on, lets go break their arms. |

My friend Evelyn, who is no techie genius finds VMware Fusion 4 user friendly.. if that helps at all.

   The dream is free.. the work to achieve it is sold separately.OOC: An OOC expression of horror would confirm your humanity nicely.  MLNO. The only forum I know where expressions like the one above are commonplace.  Everyone is frustrating in their own special way.

Okay, I'll spend what is quite possibly my last post here on this:
I use VmWare Fusion 4, and it works nicely. However, I'm considering switching to Parallels.
