Hi, Does anybody know if parallels have the ability to run a Windows virtual machine as well as boot natively in windows (using the same copy of windows)? The problem is that I need to occasionally run some heavy CAD software on Windows, and I don't want to use VM for that. On the same token, most of the other jobs are quick, and would be better served running VM. Please let me know. Regards, Ak Ag
I'm sorry to say that if you had done a bit of research you wouldn't be asking this question. It's been publicized greatly teh ability for Parallels to run Bootcamp based installations, if you don't know what bootcamp is, well, it's exaclty what you said, the ability for macs to run Windows natively. So it's not a question if Parallels runs natively, it's the other way around, which is, if native installations (bootcamp) can run on Parallels, and yes, they can.
