Whats Windows?

 

Im only running windows for use of Matlab. I don't like it on my macbook at all. Ill uninstall everything as soon as I get a proper PC.

 

Good luck with that....

I actually have both VM fusion and Parallels for my Macbook and and iMac at work respectively.

I actually have to say that VM Fusion, in my circumstance was much better in handling Java through Internet Explorer. There's a hospital EMR that uses IE exclusively for medical records and Java through Parallels always messes up the screen when scrolling backwards. It also just seems to hang more often.

My 2 cents...

 

Al brings up another good point here. No matter which you use, you need to test thoroughly if anything critical is riding on it. Parallels was just great for me, then I found out it didn't really like the USB dongle for updating the map database in the Garmin unit in my plane. It would say it updated, but didn't, or hung, etc. I still have to use an actual Windows box for that one function.

 

With Vista go with VMWare Fusion!! I tried Parallels and it does not work well with Vista. Not as user friendly as Fusion either.

 

Is this big stuff or just little programs? If they're smaller you can run them within the MacOS environment via Crossover.

 

Are you running OS X? Why not run matlab on os x in such cases?
