Boot Camp for Macs

[almax]

yo have just got me a slick little Macbook Pro, was thinking about running boot camp on it to use windows, was curious whether this would increase virus issues if i hook it up to the net as opposed to running OS?

i think you're confused as to what apple's boot camp actually does. boot camp just lets you dual boot mac os x and windows.

something like parallels desktop will let you boot windows inside mac os x, which is arguably safer (as it operates windows in a sandbox-style environment of sorts) than just booting into windows.

hey almax,

i use bootcamp on a MBP for music production, it works like a charm. let me know if you have any queries about this setup, I've been using it for about a year. But yeah, you do need antivirus, unless you NEVER connect it to the internet (or other peoples storage devices)

I did try parallels, but found out it doesn't support firewire. No good for me as I use a FW interface.
