RE: Three things to know about Apple Boot Camp
I've never used boot camp, but I do understand the advantages of using it. I've never had the need to use it. If I wanted to just use windows, I'd use a windows PC. They're cheap enough now days. If I need to do a few basic tasks, I start up my vmware, and I can use XP, vista, or windows 7, or a couple Linux options. I still can use my mac to get email, web browsing, etc. Sure, it can be a performance hog sometimes, and the comment about suspending the virtual machine is a good one. I would never want to use windows for email and most internet activities, except for testing a web site in IE, because of all the nasty things out there. So, the virtual solution works fine for me.
