Hi andrea,
Of course a mac is great ( and if you wanna buy a pc laptop, same quality,
macbook pro isn´t so expansive ( actually it was cheaper than the dell
presicion 17" laptop)
I use boot camp for switching ( ok you have to restart, but works fin , and
will be improved ) so i think end of the year it will work.
I wouldn´t use paralell desktop cause no 3d acceleration is working with it.
For linux i don´t know, but like on pc it have to work with a restart, but
not shure if you can start it on mac osx in a windo ( but not sure)
If you buy a macbook pro you should wait until the new processors are
available.
And otherthing is that if you cannot wait till october for the processors
you should buy the macbook pro with the new motherboard ( it shouldn´t get
so hot like the old one)
Ok. Installation was the easiest thing i ever had . Really cool .
You sart bootcamp on osx ( bootcamp burns a driver cd) than you have to
insert a win xp pro sp2 cd ( be aware that only original systams are
supported) and than you give the size of the pc drive and the rest is
automatic up to the point when you have to put in the driver cd
I think you have to make another partion in fat32 instead of ntfs.
I exchange data by usb stick working great for my needs
I think you can do it with a fat 32 partion or an external drive formated
with fat32 ( it´s dangerous smattering)
