More with parallels desktop

Q: What is the side effect of installing a dual boot on mac?
A: Since Mac is using the boot camp, it will slow the booting and turning off processes. While with windows, it won't affect the speed of the booting process.
Q: What is the reason why there is a lag in booting up Mac OS while there's none with Windows?
A: The boot camp recognizes the Windows more than the Mac. Poor guy.
Q: What about installing the parallels desktop, what is the effect?
A: Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac (pls check if there are newer versions, I'm not updated) is good for opening Windows while on Mac OS. As of the moment, it is good for XP and Vista, not yet for Windows 7. Most problems I encouter while in Mac simultanuously with Windows is that some usb devices works with Mac while it won't be opened on Windows and vice versa. Others like the cd-drive also works in Windows but not on Mac and vice versa. Not unless you turn off the computer and start over again with the device connected to it, hope it works.

Dual Boot on Mac

The world of Mac is becoming bigger every time I experience something new on it. I'm a windows user ayt. This post is as simple as

HOW CAN YOU LOG IN TO WINDOWS USING DUAL BOOT ON MAC MACHINE?

The answer is very simple. Turn the computer off. Press the power button ON, then immediately press and hold the ALT key. 2 options will be displayed, one is the hard drive for your Mac, the other is your Windows. Select your Windows and there you go! If you want to switch to Mac, turn the computer off again then repeat the process. HOW DO YOU INSTALL THE WINDOWS ON A MAC COMPUTER? This topic will soon rise here (got no time yet, I'm in the office).

That is what I hate about dual boot on Mac systems. You have to turn the computer off before you can go to the other operating system. Though Mac introduces PARALLELS DESKTOP as an option to transfer from one operating system to another, I saw problems when using it. Discussion on Parallels Desktop will come sooner.
