VMware Fusion

Most people do this with VMware or PearPC. AFAIK, there's no marketed product specifically for emulating a Mac on a PC. ...

I certainly use Parallels on a near-daily basis. It's just as discussed in the interview you've posted on blogspot - it is a huge productivity boost. One of the things I do for work is maintain/build on a WinPE-based tools disc (I work in a test-lab environment that is 98% Windows-only). With Parallels, I can build/test my WinPE tools disc on my MacBook exclusively. It used to...

Way back when, I tried Solaris 10 in VMWare (under Linux, as it happened), and it was flaky as a cereal aisle. Directly on the hardware, it was perfectly happy, but it couldn't get along with multiple-booting, so I couldn't really run it that way either...

This is interesting. Why do you think this? Can you explain it further? The thought that came to my mind was actually that the Mac community pays more attention to beneath-hood changes than the "other" (eh) world. Doesn't it sell? To whom does it not sell? To scrip kiddies emulating Tiger x86 in Vmware, or for servers running the server version of Tiger? There are...

Cool. i hope we can answer your questions. You have a lot of possibility with the new MacBook or MacBook Pros. With the new intel macs, why use an emulator? You have possibilities. GPS on Macs is not well supported. So you might want to look at using either BootCamp or Parallels and have no trouble using the same program.

t use a lot of resources but if Virtual PC runs like Vmware on Windows then it might not be usable, Vmware on Linux seems to run much better. I would assume Virtual PC runs fine on OSX since it is BSD based. ...

Hello all! I'm new to Mac Forums but an old hand at Mac OS X and slightly more experienced with Linux/UNIX. I've been developing a 2D gaming engine in pygame in both Gentoo (x86) and Ubuntu 6.0 (PPC) Linux. I'm reaching a stage where I should/could/will have something worth looking at (read: Downloadable) for a video game in another 3 months. I have tested my code in...

I don't know if you could really do the snapshots etc. of VMWare - the OS is running directly on the hardware, with just a hypervisor underneath it, rather than a whole virtual machine with another OS under that. Still, very cool - I'm actually thinking about getting a copy of Windows. Weird to contemplate...

user features that VMware has, like snapshots, shared folders, etc., but otherwise appears very good. Install and setup was a breeze. ...

I don't settle. I just wanted to point out that it all depends on how "good" such an environment actually would _be_. I get what you say about Photoshop, but I didn't mean it'd run as good "as on Windows". I meant (and said) "so good" that it makes no sense for Adobe to further develop a Mac version. However: If usability of the app sucks, then that's a no-go for Adobe, too. ...
