i remember there still being issues with parallels working with external sound cards... have they rectified this? c. ----- Original Message ---- From: Timothy Sutton <timsutton@fastmail.fm> To: eamt@concordia.ca Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 7:26:55 PM Subject: Re: Mac Bootcamp ...or there's Parallels, which is a virtual machine environment in which you can install Windows. The primary developments in the past year have been, aside from implementing DirectX 3D support (not much use on a Macbook), allowing the Windows applications to integrate very nicely into OSX, via drag/drop copying, integration into the Dock/alt-tab-menu/file-type-associations, and most importantly the ability for Windows programs to be moved about amongst the OSX windows by hiding the Desktop/StartMenu. You don't need to install a separate partition on the drive and commit a certain amount of space (although it can now run the OS off the bootcamp partition, but in my experience this is slower). So, if you just need to use Cool Edit/Audition like many do, this may be a more convenient way to do so.
