Windows Vista on a Macbook Pro

About this trail:
You can go the Bootcamp route to getting Windows on your Macbook or you can install parallels and run Windows under OS X.  With the soon to next release of Parallels the choice is easy-Parallels.  Run applications in their own separate window on the OS X desktop or run in full screen mode.  It even works with Vista.  First buy and install Parallels from here.  But follow the trail there is more.

This update is really worth it.  Install the release version in the first mark, register it with you instalation key then upgrade agin to this version.

They have added the ability to run Vista but even better you run apps in their own window on the OS X desktop.  I run it to make sure my software works well in IE and Firefox on Windows.  Others may want to run software that only works on Windows.

I run Bootcamp currently to get Doom 3 but stay tuned to find out how well it does on Parallels...
