In early 2006 when Apple released BootCamp (beta) which would allow users to install Windows on their Mac people like me were really excited to see that happening.

Now I finally tried Windows Vista on Macbook Pro. You can also boot your Windows Vista BootCamp partition using virtual machine software, Parallels Desktop (for which there is a 15-day trial version available on their website) which allows you to run Windows inside OS X without having to reboot.

With the Parallels software the performance is great, a dual core processor on the apple macbook is to be the major reason to facilitate this level of functionality. One vital point that is common to both BootCamp and Parallels Desktop is that you need to make sure the installation of Windows is securely done.

BootCamp too is easy to use it prompts you to insert the blank CD and then it burns the driver disc, and then it asks you to put the Windows Vista CD in the drive and it reboots the computer. Once it reboots, the screen goes to the conventional Windows Setup portion of the install. It is just like a default Windows installation. I definately love to work on Mac, but Vista is a good experience too!
