Hi all,
Anyway to install window 7 direct to apple laptop without going through 3rd party platform like bootcamp?

@enriquelee
Nope not possible. It's either dual boot thru bootcamp or virtualization i.e. VMWare or Parallel Desktop.

bootcamp is not 3rd party

i suppose u can use disk utility to manually partition the drive urself. set it to Master Boot Record. after partitioning, insert ur windows DVD, reboot and press and hold down C before the mac chime to boot from the windows DVD. process as how you would on a normal PC. just make sure not to format ur macintosh HD partition

bootcamp assistant software simply does all that automatically. never tried myself lah but i dont see why i wont work. why dont u want to use bootcamp anyway?

Ok a bit off topic here. Have you guys try this product known as CrossOver before? It states that it can perform better than VM and no need to install separately.

I myself also use PD6 but games don't perform too well in it. So I am wondering if this CrossOver product will do the job? Anyone tried it before?

Can I use Crossover to install flying spaghetti monster and play DOTA?

Hie Guys,

Need some advise here for Parallels Desktop & VMware Fusion (I have Bootcamp) for Lion
(Sorry is this question has been asked many times as a few post back was asking Dota n etc...)

Much appreciated that I have some positive feedback on the stability issue and wide rage of compatibility for Windows applications:

Having 2009 MBP
Intel C2D: 2.26GHz
4GB 1067DDR3
OS: Lion 10.7

Which Parallels vs. VMware provide:
i) Uses less resource for MBP?
ii) Less heat dissipated
iii) Stable and reliable
iv) Smooth without lagging under native OS Win7

Propose: Work under Windows, personal under Mac OS X

Thanks

you can always download a trial and compare them on your own, with all ur work software n such

but if me i'd just go for PD6 cuz i have no idea why fusion4 is not out yet

is PD6 working smoothly under LION?
I face lots of prob under LION especially the ext. hdd issue

Thanks

Hmm.. I thought Warcraft III has the installer for Mac. Do you need Crossover or VM?

Using Lion here with PD6. You have to download the latest update of it to ensure its compatibility with Lion, otherwise it will make a mess in the Launchpad by flooding all Windows app in it.


I also tried VMware 3.1.3 (Trial) is kinda sluggish when loading Windows 7 when compares to PD6. Therefore after that I purchase PD6 with one of the forumer here.
