You can run any PC application on a mac. Macs can run windows, any version of windows, natively as a boot-up option.
Thank you all for your advise/input.overall looks like Mac gets the thumps up!?I sure will check the apple store in new york while I am there next week.
But why would you want to. The majority of people who buys Macs do so to get away from windows !!!
Yeah the store on 5th avenue beside central park is a great store and the staff are great. As with all things Apple it looks good too !!
The Aplle aluminium is the latest release of the Macbook. I got one 2 weeks ago and love it. So thin compared to my other one and as usual, no problems !!!
I agree. My point is that if you have one or two must-have applications that only run under Windows, that doesn't mean that the mac is not an option.
The latest Macs run Windows natively (and it runs better than on many PCs). No need for a virtual machine.
True, but to run Windows apps on a Mac, you need a another licensed copy of Windows. I've a Mac for a nearly a year now and find I'm using my PC less and less. The Mac's boot-up time is amazingly quick and it plays high-definition video without a hiccup. The PC on the other hand is slow to boot and even with the a high-performance video card is buggy as hell. I really think Windows has lost the plot.I agree. My point is that if you have one or two must-have applications that only run under Windows, that doesn't mean that the mac is not an option.
No you don't. You can install any one of a number of "host application environments" that allow you to install and run windoze (or Linux) applications under Mac OS X without the need for the Windoze OS (or Linux).True, but to run Windows apps on a Mac, you need a another licensed copy of Windows.. .
Got my macbook in new york and made huge savings!
how do i install windows on mac?I use VOIPcheap to make international calls and havent been successful running it on mac.do i have to buy some softwae for that(windows)
Indeed. So blatant.Also is it work buying in the north given the difference in the price on the apple.co.uk site V apple.ie
Hi Boi!,
Im in exactly the same position as yourself. I have 1500 euros to buy a laptop. Im a bit sick of windows due to reasons pointed out by other persons here. What im wondering is whats the story with the apple site? the price of the laptop inflates so much by customising it to ones satisfaction. All these add ons are expensive which leads me to the question - what are beneficial and what are unnecessary. What i enjoy is collecting & playing around with family /holiday / friends photos. What is essential is that i can still for business reasons connect to Outlook which is run off a server in the office. My business is small and the volumne of emails i receive on my outlook is small but important all the same..Also is it work buying in the north given the difference in the price on the apple.co.uk site V apple.ie
As you can tell by my terminology im not computer person but ide love realiability and simplicity....
Thanks in advance,
Pat
