How to install Vista in OS X using Parallels or just run Windows on your Mac
February 12th, 2007 by jamesOk, 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?

Yeah well if that’s the case, they are retarded. (Well, they are retarded anyway!) Just churn out those programmers who are looking for the quickest and easiest solution instead of doing the job right. That’s what our universities are doing these days. It’s really sad when your own university only supports a narrow choice of platforms because they are too lazy to get the job done right. If they’re going to do that, they should provide an “authorized” laptop for you to do the work on for that price.
And no, I didn’t buy it. Yet. We’ll have a site license soon I’m sure.
