Running Windows on a Mac

"Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac, Fifth Edition” kicks off by helping you figure out which version of Windows you should run (XP, Vista, or 7) and which virtualization software makes sense for you (Parallels Desktop 6, VMware Fusion 3, or VirtualBox 4) or whether you should dual-boot with Apple’s Boot Camp. Next up, Joe helps you round up the necessary hardware and software, and make any obligatory preparations. Mid-way through the ebook, you’ll be making it all work right with hardware drivers installed, printers printing, anti-virus software patrolling the perimeter, and so forth. Before you finish, you’ll know how to share files between Mac and Windows installations, enjoy the snazzy new features in the latest versions of Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion, create functional backups of your Windows installation, and generally get on with your life while using Windows.

Questions answered in the ebook include:

* What are 13 things that you can do in Windows, but not on the Mac?
* How can I get a copy of Windows that will work on a Mac?
* How can I set things up so that Windows won’t bog down my Mac’s
backups?
* How should I handle partitioning for my Windows installation?
* How can I avoid or handle activation hassles?
* What’s the best way to right-click in Windows?
* How do I make my Bluetooth devices work in Windows?
* What is FAT32, and why might it matter to me?
* What are the coolest new features in Parallels Desktop 6?
* Is VirtualBox 4 a serious contender in the world of virtualization?

the metalevel

2005-12-24T06:24:00.000-05:00

i'm developing ways of collaborating, contributing to the forums'
exchanges around this medium. better ways than what i've figured
out so far.

my writing needs to be a lot better, more interesting. overcoming
blocks to more freely express the ideas in me is a great challenge.

feedback, comment, questions and suggestions welcome !
critique, debate, counterpoint, challenges, disagreement,
dissent, kibbitzing welcome !

metalevel writings
i've avoided metalevel exchanges. apparently enganging in
metalevel exchanges foment inflamatory contributions rather than
moderating back to the original idea or ideas of topics, subjects
for the original exchanges.

and i'd aim to be funnier ! or a better straightman !
or a better foil !
