Christmas has come early for users of VirtualBox, a free and open source virtualization solution from Sun Microsystems. Version 2.1 is a huge upgrade to the product as it includes VT-x and AMD-V hardware virtualization support on OS X and full VMDK/VHD support — including snapshots — putting it on par (at least from a […]

November OS Share Numbers: Should Microsoft Be Scared?

Posted under mac, market share, xp, vista, windows, software, Commentary, Apple on December 3rd, 2008 by admin0 comments

The latest numbers from Net Applications’ Operating System stats are available, and they provide a nice epilogue to last month’s numbers. In October the Mac’s share was down, and Vista’s was up, prompting some to write about the apparent anomaly.
I countered that notion with my own writeup that showed both Windows and Mac have ups and downs in […]

When it comes to OS virtualization on a Mac, there are two major contenders for the title of virtualizer to end all virtualizers.
Likely Parallels and VMware Fusion need no introduction for TAB readers, but you might not be aware of what the latest incarnations that both programs bring to the table. VMware Fusion 2, released […]

Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac Now Available

Posted under windows, parallels, virtualization, News, software, Apple on November 11th, 2008 by admin0 comments

Virtualization software has come a long way since the days of Virtual PC on PPC Macs. Microsoft’s Windows-enabling program was more of a parlor trick than fully functional software. These days, Parallels Desktop, version 4.0 of which is available today for purchase, makes running a virtual machine more of a pleasure and less of a […]

Even with CodeWeaver’s generous giveaway of CrossOver Mac the other week, there are still times when one has to use a virtualized Windows environment to get work done that just cannot be performed within OS X properly. In talking with other VMware users, I realized that not everyone may hack their hosted Windows environment as I […]

Boot Camp: Taking the Sting Out of Your Sin

Posted under Boot-Camp, windows, Tips, Commentary, Apple on October 30th, 2008 by admin0 comments

I’m not ashamed to admit it. I run XP on my aluminum iMac. My girlfriend is ashamed of me and my brother won’t speak to me. All because of a 40gb hard drive partition and a start button.
I did it mostly so that I could play City of Heroes again (look what you’ve made me […]

The Apple Tax: Fact or Fiction?

Posted under ads, apple tax, microsoft, windows, Commentary, Apple on October 22nd, 2008 by admin0 comments

Recently, we’ve seen Microsoft move to respond to Apple’s “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” ads, fearing the company’s rapid growth. There was the Seinfeld debacle, which drew plenty of attention. It didn’t seem to be quite the attention Microsoft was looking for, so they turned to the “I’m a PC” campaign. Yes, Pharrell […]

SuperSite FAQ About Windows 7 — What They Really Meant to Say

Posted under microsoft, windows, Commentary, humor, Apple on October 16th, 2008 by admin0 comments

Since Microsoft is trying hard not to talk about Vista, they’re falling back on their SOP of deflecting attention to a shiny new object, in this case Windows 7. To that end, the SuperSite for Windows has taken it upon itself to become the “central location for accurate information about Windows 7.”
