With software, such as Parallels, Boot Camp, and Fusion, computer users now don’t have to decide which OS to run: they can run Windows and Mac OS X side by side on their Intel-based Macs. These software programs are becoming an increasingly popular and convenient way to get the most out of the Mac. Mac users don’t need to leave Windows behind; and they’ll no longer have to switch to a PC whenever they need to access a PC-compatible software application. Instead, they can run Windows and Mac side by side, moving back and forth between the two operating systems. This book will show readers how to install and run Windows Vista on an Intel-based Macs and use it side by side with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard–all on one machine.
The book will be aimed at consumer-level readers who have a basic understanding of Mac and Windows operating systems. The book will take a step-by-step approach to setting up and using the software, with plenty of screenshots to guide the reader along the way. It will also include guidance on how to use Windows and Mac OS X.
