Should you "Boot Camp" or virtualize Windows 7 Beta?
Installing Windows 7 Beta on your Mac is a great way to check out which Apple features Microsoft is stealing this time. But what is the best way to get that foreign OS on your precious Mac?
Windows 7 has been in public beta for a little over a month now, and you've no doubt heard friends, coworkers, reviewers, bloggers, even the nightly news rave about its evolution from Vista. You'd like to see how many user interface tricks Microsoft stole from Apple this time, but you need to install it on a computer to try it out.
When trying out a new operating system, you have several options. You can install it on that aging PC in the basement. You could just backup your data, format your hard drive and install the beta operating system (OS) right on your everyday machine. Or, you could always just buy a new computer, too. Cash out what little stock you have left and get a second PC. What else are you going to do with the $743 left in your retirement fund?
Instead of popping for a new PC, why not use the hardware you already have. That shiny (some say too shiny) new MacBook Pro is just begging for more action than the occasional Adium chat session with Aunt Helen or those visits Flickr to see pics of her new puppy. That thing has a ton of great hardware in it.
