How Do you Run Windows on your Mac?

Apple has always tried to sell their computers. They wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t.

Recently, they’ve been pushing the idea that you can run Windows on your Mac. Very few people actually do this, however it’s a comforting thought. For those of us who actually do need to run Windows programs on our Mac, we have a couple options.

For about six months I used a piece of software called Boot Camp that was included with my Mac to do this. The way it works is to emulate BIOS so as to allow Microsoft’s Operating System to start on Intel’s EFI which Apple uses in their computers. You have to partition out a section of your disk to do this though… I found that this could be dangerous, and I have never had a good experience with partitioning.

So, I looked for another solution. I found something called : An open source project dedicated to this issue, which allows one to run . I used it for a little while but then found it was too slow.

I continued my search and found two pieces of software: VMWare Fusion and another called Parallels.

I tried out Parallels and it did a few things I didn’t appreciate.

1. It seemed very slow to install operating systems.
2. Some of the I/O Drivers provided were slightly buggy.
3. (This is the clincher) I decided to see how it would do porting my Boot Camp Partition. After it “succeeded” My Mac wouldn’t boot in Windows or OS X. Somehow, in some way it had corrupted my partition table.

So, my stint with Parallels didn’t work out. For some reason, I didn’t think VMWare Fusion could do much better so I went back to Boot Camp. Then, I was watching Chris Pirillo’s Live Stream and he was recording a video about how he runs windows on his Mac. He used VMWare Fusion. I pay close attention to people like Pirillo and Leo Laporte so I decided to give it a try. After all, what was I going to lose on a free trial?

I downloaded Fusion and found that it did live up to it’s promises! I was amazed.

So amazed, that when I was told to create an ad for anything I wanted as an assignment, I decided to make it in relation to Fusion.

Here’s what I produced:
