The ultimate goal is to use a MacBook Pro at home and at work in the Windows-dominated environment of my clients.<\/p>\n<p>So tonight I am just getting settled in on the Mac side; setting up email, moving my iTunes library, and installing all the essential applications. Then this weekend, I&#8217;ll take on evaluating the differences between Boot Camp (the dual boot option direct from Apple) and Parallels (the WM-ware option from third-party Parallels). In a perfect world WM-ware would be great as I could live in OSX and just tab out to Windows when I needed to. But I&#8217;ve read about performance issues in Parallels (which makes sense). And I have less confidence in a beta from a third-party than I do in a beta from Apple.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll post my findings this weekend.
