Parallel Desktops on Mac
Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:55 pm
So I'm taking a C++ class and the compiler the instructor is using is windows only...
I dragged out my old HP laptop, and it was dead as a doornail.
So...I downloaded an iso image of windows 7, installed Parallel desktops, installed windows and the compiler and had my first assignment compiled and turned in in just a couple of hours from my macbook.
Pretty painless, and totally transparent far as I can tell. I don't even have to look at the ugly windows interface, it just pops up like any other mac program.
Sweeet...
