.Net Runtimes For Visual Studio Install Windows Via

You could install Windows via BootCamp or Parallels and run it in Windows.

In terms of.Net you cannot install the official.Net runtime but you could install Mono.

I meant you could not install.Net under OSX.

Once you are running Windows under BootCamp or Parallels you can, of course, install.Net.

Heck, a few fellow employees have actually gotten the company to pay for a MBP for work use because it can run Windows.

I am a programmer and need the notebook to run VS, MSSQL server, Apache, etc.

I was looking at Asus, HP, till somebody told me to go for Macbook pro.

Since, you have already used it, and I have never used Mac till date.

Can you let me know how easy would it be to get used to Mac and will it perfectly fit my requirements than the other PC laptops around How would it be in comparision to performance with a dual core 2Ghz Windows Dell laptop Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Windows on either is gonna be pretty decent when you are talking about performance.

Either is gonna be close to on par with a desktop 3Ghz Xeon (HT, Single-core), or a 2800 Athlon MP (Dual-proc) setup.

In other words: Not on par with the absolute latest Xeon or AMD64 setup, but still beefy enough to compile fairly large projects in under 20 minutes.

Speed in Parallels is acceptable, although it would be improved greatly by upping the RAM to 2GB.

VS2005 loves RAM, and in Parallels on a 1GB machine, theres really not quite enough to spare.

If youre developing for Smart Devices and fancy giving Parallels a try, you might want to test Parallels USB support for the devices synch cradle.

My HTC devices seem to work just fine, but Ive read stories to the contrary.

Can you let me know how easy would it be to get used to Mac and will it perfectly fit my requirements than the other PC laptops around.

As a non-developer and a Mac guy from way back, Ill admit upfront to being somewhat confused by the various technologies under the.Net umbrella.

My interest is in running.Net applications on OS X.
