Windows For Apple Mac

[Essex1]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend if the software advertised on line is any good. Does it work as good as the PC?

Can anyone recommend a suitable way to do it?

I've got windows 7 & 10 running on a macbook pro.

How do you do it?

VM Ware fusion.

It's ok for a lot of office type stuff but can give isses with things that directly address hardware, e.g. Plc comms software.

I was just reading about that exact one. May give it a go. Thanks.

I also have used Windows based VM Ware for over 10 years for running multiple OS's on one M/C.

This is more successful hardware wise.

I have a macbook pro retina display and use Parallels to run Windows to run easycert.   It works ok for me.

I've got Linux, OSX (yes I know it's still Linux, :slap )  and Windoze all running on same machine with no issues,

OSX (yes I know it's still Linux, :slap )

No it's not. All 3 are based/born of Unix origins, but Linux and OSX are still closer to Unix than Windows is nowadays.

Isn't it funny tho,  that the most expensive OS,  and the most widespread OS,  both use the same basic kernel as the best (and FREE may I add) OS there is,?

Who is the more foolish user,?

Discuss,,,,,,

'Best' is a matter of opinion.

For an interesting read, there is also a lot more if you google unix vs OS X vs linux

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4091/is-linux-a-unix

So many people think OSx is linux when its not and OSx is nearer Unix than Linux.......

I use both

OSx rocks and beats windows hands down, what i do on OSx i could not easily do on any Linux Distro without some headaches

OSx is headache free, its easy, its simple, it works, and there is no stress

Linux (I use CentOS 6.x and 7.x is excellent, but its all done on command line (like DOS) and not GUI and its all linux based software and not anything windows like

To be honest I have no clue what you lot are on about.
