The best way to run Windows 8…

October 20, 2012 1:09:58 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

So far is to run it via Parallels on the Mac.  In that setup, on a MacBook Pro with the way MacOS X Mountain Lion handles full screen it actually almost works.  Now if there was only  a way to make the charms bar less obnoxious.

The best way to run Windows 8... is to run away.

I trust you'll come up with something.

So the best way to run Windows 8 is to buy a Mac. There's some irony in there somewhere.

It was the same with Windows Vista a few years ago, when many PC makers didn't provide drivers yet and Apple did.

I installed Windows 8 on a MacBook Air a few weeks ago.

Careful, I don't think that's exactly legal.

It is legal, he's using Parallels.  Perfectly OK, and not that uncommon (several people run Windows on Macs using Parallels).

I think I'd have to have a Mac first.

That's gonna happen.  Let me check my schedule in 2050...yep, wide open and full of possibilities.
