Hi All,
I am asking this on behalf of my sister who just got a new MacBook Air 13 with i7 and 8gb RAM.
She need Windows because some of her business software run on Windows. Besides that, she prefer Office 2010 over Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
Questions:
1. VMWare Fusion vs Parallel Desktop - which is more convenient?
2. BootCamp or not? - I understand that we can just install Fusion and then install Windows 7 into it.
3. Windows 7 64-bit, Microsoft Office 2010 and some software - how much space we need for the NTFS partition?
4. Office 2011 on Mac and Office 2010, exactly the same? Anyone used before? If same, I'd recommend her to use the Mac version instead of the Windows version.

BootCamp or not? - I understand that we can just install Fusion and then install Windows 7 into it. I use bootcamp for full force. 3. Windows 7 64-bit, Microsoft Office 2010 and some software - how much space we need for the NTFS partition? My bootcamp is 30GB. 4. Office 2011 on Mac and Office 2010, exactly the same? Anyone used before? If same, I'd recommend her to use the Mac version instead of the Windows version. Not same UI. I love Windows version more than Mac version.  What is full force? Don't get what you mean. |

My office colleague also tell me to use Bootcamp, I didn't want to at first but sometimes we need a full Windows environment rather than a VM. |
