For a more detailed explanation on what Parallels is and the features read our Run Windows Vista On a Mac article. There you will also find the user guide for Parallels which will walk you through how the program works. We also have a quick blog post on our how to run Vista on a Mac blog post.
If you are like me then you have seen all those Mac vs. Pc commercials and finally they are starting to get through to you. You see more and more of your friends carrying around those slick white laptops and they can’t seem to shut up about it. While I wanted one I was not going to make the plunge because I need a Windows system because of software that will only run on windows. Items like my smart phone, games and business software just won’t work with a Mac.
Well Thanks to a software program called Parallels you can now Run Windows Vista on a Mac. You do not even need to reboot when you are trying to run a Vista program. This is a great piece of software that enables you to run any windows program on your Mac.
Examples are PC based games and other related software that require windows. Smart Phones that run the Windows operating system will also now function on your Mac.
It is important to note that no Mac computers come with Windows pre-installed. You have to go out and purchase a copy of both Parallels and Windows Vista or XP. After that you can install Parallels and then that will help guide you through installing other operating systems. You can even have the Mac OS10 running with XP, Vista and Linux if you wanted.
The install process is straight forward and the software comes with complete documentation on how to use it. Even if you’re not the most technical it is not hard to figure out because the software guides you through the install processes.
If you have doubts about how the software works I would encourage you to go to the Parallels website and download the trial version. After that you will be able to see how well the software works and if for any reason you do not like it just un-install the program and forget about it.
