Vishnu Soft and Apple MacBookPro

doba_s · 09-24-2007, 10:22 AM

I have Apple MacBookPro and would like to know if Vishnu's software will be compatible with it . As everyone else I am planing to get V2

tintivilus · 09-24-2007, 10:41 AM

Should work fine in Parallels. I haven't heard anything about an OS X native version yet.

doba_s · 09-24-2007, 11:57 AM

i downloaded files from their site, but can't open it ...

sdwilly · 09-24-2007, 11:58 AM

You'll either need Parallels or Boot Camp, I don't see a Mac native client on their site.

In a nut shell, they let you run XP on your Mac. I would suggest Parallels since it's just a VM and runs inside of OS X, versus Boot Camp where you have to exit out of OS X to get to XP.

Here is a link to the Parallels site http://www.parallels.com/, basically you install Parallels then install a fresh copy of XP (or Vista) and there you go.

Lets u run Windows on an Intel Mac. Parallels u have to pay for and it runs within OSX, Boot Camp is free and u need to reboot to get into Windows

Dustin Bramell · 09-24-2007, 12:22 PM

I personally run parallels 3.0. Make sure that you plug in your USB to serial adapter after windows starts running, otherwise parallels may not recognize it, or may think it is in use by the mac OS.

OC Guy · 09-24-2007, 12:28 PM

Just run bootcamp IMO.

Install Bootcamp and you will be able to do it.

Get bootcamp and install windows on your mac

Beer Goggles · 09-24-2007, 02:49 PM

I'd buy a crappy $350 PC notebook before installing virus filled Windows on my mac

J-Sud · 09-24-2007, 07:12 PM

would my PowerMac G4 be strong enough to run XP and OS X at the same time enough to run the program?

You should look into writing a OS X version if there is a demand for it.

Thanks

Parallels and bootcamp do not run on G5 and G4 (PowerPC) Macintosh computers. If you want to run Windows utilities, you need an "Intel inside" Macintosh.

Walmart $350 laptop for PC related programs...MAC for pleasurable worry free computer uses.

I ran into the same problem with my gf's new Mac book we got a few weeks ago...

You're all crazy. Why would you want to shut down everything you're doing in OS X just to use one Windows app for a few minutes?

Parallels is what you want.

The only reason to reboot into Windows (Boot Camp) is if you want to do some serious gaming and don't want OS X and the VM taking up resources. For occasional or ongoing use of general Windows-only applications Parallels is way nicer to use.

o really ? 350

what brand ?

Nyulak · 09-24-2007, 10:55 PM

My engineering workstation at work was due for lease replacement, so I got IT to give me an engineering laptop just so I could have a WinPC to update my PROceed!

I have a MBP that is now connected to my home theater system, since I have a new Alu iMac 2.8 that I use for everything except for games, that's where my XP box comes in handy.

I can't remember but I was Lap Top Shopping for work and say $3XX laptops at most stores. I think Walmart has them too.

Shift_Fast · 09-24-2007, 11:37 PM

I use Parallels, pay the $70, and run up to 10x virtual machines at once...not that you need to, but that tells you its a pretty well thought program...IMO

DrewKo · 09-25-2007, 11:46 AM

For those who do not have an Intel Mac notebook, try using Virtual PC, which is like parallels for the prior Macs.
