Exploring Windows 7 on the Mac: installation via Boot Camp
Mac users who have a need to run Windows applications or games may have good reason to keep an eye on the development of Windows 7, due for release later this year. Among its features are easier setup and installation.
This series looks at the features Windows 7 offers to Mac users, and what is involved in moving from XP. This segment looks specifically at how Windows 7 differs from Mac OS X in setup and installation, and how Microsoft has made improvements over the experience offered by XP and Vista.
Mac users have a number of reasons to install Windows; some might want to run Windows in a virtual environment such VMware?s Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or Sun?s free VirtualBox to run a custom corporate app (or some other software that only works on Windows), right on the Mac OS X desktop.
Others might want to install Windows natively on their Mac using Boot Camp for full the performance required to run many Windows-only games. And many Mac users are also owners of generic PCs, and want to setup their Windows PC to share files and sync data with their Mac.
