I thoroughly impressed my co-workers by running all four operating systems AT THE SAME TIME! I use Virtue Desktops to quickly switch between operating systems with a quick key press. To boot into Windows, you simply open Parallels and select Start to boot Windows in an OSX window.įor kicks, I have installed Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux in other virtual machines. My installation of Windows XP Professional took about 15 minutes from start to finish (versus 40 minutes or so on an actual PC). Parallels will even automate the installation of Windows onto this virtual machine. it will allocate part of your hard drive for a virtual machine that will house each additional operating system. Parallels rocks! The ability to run Windows within OSX is awesome.
Older versions are not fully compatible with each other.
Parallels for windows xp install#
Below are a few tips to ensure they install and function well.ĭisclaimer: You must have up-to-date screen readers (tested with JAWS 8.0 and Window Eyes 6.1 demos), Parallels (build 3214 – June 21, 2007), and Boot Camp (1.3 Beta). Both of these applications work with Intel-based Macs only and support the most popular screen readers – JAWS and Window Eyes. Boot Camp allows you to boot into Windows on a Mac computer. Parallels is a program that allows Windows to run within a window under OSX.
Now that I have an Intel-based Mac with Parallels and Boot Camp for running Windows, I have found the perfect screen reader testing system. Screen readers and my HP laptop have never been friends.
