  • Using a Windows-based program on a Mac

    Anyone have any experience with having to use a window-based program on their Mac. I am in a Stratomatic league and their Netplay program to play people online is windows-based. The company mentioned Boot Camp and Parallels as ways of being able to play Netplay on a Mac. Has anyone used either of these programs? Are they simple downloads or is it more complex than that? TIA

    Literally means "pulling your pants down to fart" which is a Chinese idiom for "wasted effort." Makes sense to me!

    I know you can run windows on macs these days, but I don't know about specific programs.

      3 main ones:
      - parallels
      - vmware
      - virtualbox

      parallels and vmware cost (well, there is a free version of vmware but it's pretty limited). virtualbox is free. that made the decision easy for me .

      you'll need an install disk for some version of windows, with any of those.

      ETA: the most common windows version to run under these is XP, because it's the most lightweight version that will still run most programs.
