While BootCamp is a handy tool to have, there is a downsides to it. It uses all of your resources you have on your computer. You need to double the requirement to run windows. So lets say for Windows 7 you need 2GB of RAM, you need to get a 4GB. Hard Drive is not so bad but double go above a 250 GB and you will be fine. However, when I ran Blue Mars on my BootCamp, I wasn't too pleased about it. When I go and sign in, instantly I would freeze. Once i am able to sign in, it freezes again, and it takes me 15 minutes to go to a location. It runs very slow with Blue Mars running. When I check my task manager, it tells me how much resources is being taken, and when I see it, I am shocked.<br /><br />b. While BootCamp is great, you need to understand, you need to buy Windows. You can look for cracks, but the best way is to buy it and they are expensive. i spent $137 dollars for Windows 7 Home Premium.<br /><br />c. Windows, running Parallel. I never used it, so I can't say, but I can say this. If you install Windows 7, Apple is not responsible for it. If your computer crashes because of Windows, it voids your warranty, because it is not an Apple product. You are using windows at your own risk.<br /><br />While, I love Windows, and it works great on my Mac, running Blue Mars with it, I am not happy with. I love Blue Mars, the graphics, is outstanding, and I see the next generation of Virtual Worlds, but I am going to wait until the Clouds are released. I am excited to see new stuff from my friends on Blue Mars, and the outstanding work they put in. <br /><br />Keep up the excellent work BM :D <br /><br />~CoolnetCoolnet560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190576602677616222.post-25462701464856766582010-09-24T10:59:56.958-07:002010-09-24T10:59:56.958-07:00Oh, did you say the development tools won't ru...Oh, did you say the development tools won't run on a native Mac?

Technically true, but practically useless. (Especially if they had to go out and buy Linux first.)<br /><br />That said, I'll give the true Mac OS version a spin when it's ready.
