In all the hubbub surrounding the release of new Macs you may have missed the Windows 7 release. Yeah, yeah, we're Mac users and so who cares? Well, if you're one of those people who needs Windows for work but prefers to use a Mac, maybe you do. In order to use Windows on your Mac you require either Apple's Boot Camp or some variety of virtualization application. And it's just those applications that...
Virtualization software that allows Intel-based Macs to run Windows and Linux adds 70 new features and is even faster than Apple's Boot Camp, Parallels CEO says.

Over the weekend, in preparation for an upcoming review of the newest versions of Fusion and VirtualBox, I needed to set up a new Boot Camp partition on my MacBook Pro. Because Windows 7 isn't yet officially supported by Apple, and Vista isn't widely used, I chose to install XP Pro. My XP Pro disc is a Service Pack 2 release, so after booting into Windows, the system found and downloaded a bunch of...
A recent Apple Support Note says that "certain features" on the new Magic Mouse and the Apple Wireless keyboard are having trouble in Windows on Boot Camp. A fix was posted for downloading late last week. by David Morgenstern
Virtualization on the Mac has had to move forward rapidly in the past several months: where it was once enough to run basic tasks in Windows XP, users increasingly expect an experience much like what they would have in Boot Camp. That's all the more true with the launch of Windows 7, where the visual effects are not only useful but often essential. Between this and the changes in the background brought...
Despite its rivalry with Microsoft and its latest commercials mocking Windows 7, Apple announced it would support the latest OS on their computers via the Boot Camp software. Apple knows how to put aside the marketing offer new features to its users (and catch up over the competition). Thus, by the end of 2009, publisher and [...]
