    General Apple Question

    I just bought my first ever apple products, after being exclusively PC/Windows/Android forever.

    Got a MacBook Pro and the latest generation iPod Touch. The idea is for iphone app development.

    My question is... Does anyone here use a mac and run MMF on Parallels? How does it run? Is it really a viable development environment? Or should I still carry my PC laptop around as well simply for MMF development?

    Just wanted to ask before I go spend more money on Parallels and another Windows license. Hehe.

    I am using Parallels, the only problem i have is for some reason there are problems with mouse zones (setting them up) and it can be a little fiddly, other than that everything else is fine.

    I dual boot the Mac with windows, I use windows day to day and switch to osx for Xcode only. I tried using osx instead of windows but found it just took me longer to do things in osx compared to windows. I also have virtual box and it runs ok but I can't seem to get mine to run windows full screen

    I like that parallels can run windows apps within the mac desktop in coherence mode. For my uses, it's a better solution than bootcamp or virtualbox. But thanks guys for the answers.

    There's also VMWare Fusion (I've found VirtualBox a hell of a lot slower than VMWare).
