Macs do Windows

Macs Do Windows

Everything-ready

Thanks to our Intel architecture and Mac OS X, together with innovative software like Parallels Desktop for Mac, VMware Fusion for Mac and Apple’s Boot Camp software, you can now run Windows XP, Vista or even Linux on any Mac. Talk about a win-win situation. Now you can take advantage of all the benefits of owning a Mac but still enjoy the convenience of starting up your Mac in Windows XP or Windows Vista and running a Windows-only game or productivity application when needed.

With its ability to run additional operating systems, the Mac can run more applications than any PC on the planet. No matter what your studies are in, your Mac will fulfil your computing needs.

Your needs, your choice

The right solution for you is going to depend on your particular needs. Do you have to use any specific software that will run in Windows XP or Vista only? Generally, what students are looking for is simply Microsoft Office, which is available on the Mac, for creating documents, spreadsheets or presentations. Just knowing that you could have “two computers in one box” and run any program is a huge value for students. The best thing to do is talk to your tutors and find out what software you will use. And rest assured, even in the rare case where an application is only available on Windows OS, you will be able to run it on your Mac, running Windows natively or in emulation.
