[kariya9mdoa]

Ok so i see from the other thread that parrallels has been fixed but i was wondering what is better. i have ordered a mac book air here in Australia and i need to run windows and just want the best product.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

It depends on why you want to run Windows. If you're not planning any processor-intensive stuff like 3D games, Parallels or Fusion is great because you run them together with OS X without restarting, and they're very efficient. make sure you install some antiviral stuff!

If you want to run games, you have to do it native, and Bootcamp is better.

and free.

another way to look at it is if you're going to be doing a lot if little, tedious things in windows (likw using word, excel, or anything like that), parallels is nice because you won't have to restart your computer. But if you won't be multitasking much (like myself), bootcamp is more than acceptable, and doesn't require $80 worth of additional software.
