iMac in disgrace!

Posted by Chalky on Sep 7, 2007 in Computer |

I finally decided that I’d rebuild my iMac as it was running pretty slowly and my Utilities folder had magically disappeared.

I’ve re-installed Mac OS X 1.04 (Tiger) but I’m beginning to wonder whether I should have waited for Leopard to come out first before starting from scratch!

The iMac is now in disgrace because I decided now, as I’m going back to uni, to give Boot Camp a try. The iMac is running Microsoft Windows Vista Business with all of the Boot Camp drivers. I am quite surprised as to how well it was working on the Mac, although it really doesn’t look right having such an ugly Operating Systems on a machine so beautifully designed! Although, I suppose it could be worse, Vista is considerably prettier than XP just awful to use!

I then decided to be a little more adventurous and have now installed SWSoft’s Paralells Desktop for Mac. This allows me to boot my Boot Camp volume concurrently with Mac OS X! Meaning I get all the benefits of both OS X and Vista. This means I can take full advantage of Microsoft Office 2007, as I find Office 2004 for Mac to be pale in comparison to the Windows version.

Anyhoo, I’m sure you’re all suitably bored with my ramblings, so I’ll shut up now!

My friend Tom has produced a response to “iMac in disgrace” and gives you “VAIO in disgrace”:
