Ok, so… say your university’s online classes *cough* UMD *cough* doesn’t support OS X and you’re left wondering how exactly you should use that expensive MacBook Pro to take your online classes. Well, fear not, here’s a complete walk through on how to get Vista installed in OS X using Parallels. Of course, if you’re using Windows XP still, you can do the same thing using this site. And if you want to use the (currently free) VMware Fusion beta, as my review of Vista shows, it works well there. I really hate dual-booting, but using Apple’s Boot Camp, you can install Windows in a dual-boot configuration on your Intel-based Apple computer. Also, for the love of god, can people please stop coding to a single platform?

If you’re in need of some Mac OS X applications to liven up your system, check out this list. This person went through and researched popular applications on OS X, so these are ones that a lot of people are finding useful. While everyone has their opinion on what is an “essential” application (in fact, of the ones on this list, I only use a small handful) if you’re looking for a particular application, this might be a good place to look. There are even links to other such lists. I plan on checking out a few myself soon. If I do, I’ll be sure to add a review of it.

I’ve had my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz since a few days after they were released last October. As I was upgrading from a G3 700Mhz iBook this new laptop was a huge step up. After three months using this machine daily for most of the day it is without a doubt the best computer I have ever used.
