Apple Qaudcore with Windows Bootcamp and Production Studio
Hello,
A friend of mine swears blind that PC WORLD told him that if he buys this new Apple mac Quadcore Windows Vista or XP will run Native on the Mac Quadcore and he can run the Adobe Production Studio, Avid HD Pro, Ultra Serious Magic 2, all of these PC versions to run flawless on the Bootcamp of Windows on this MAC.
I have said it will be unstable and buggy, and I been told they said it works so it will work. What is everyones opinion on this rushed and badly planned purchase? I told him to wait till Adobe release the MAC Version of Adobe production Studio, and buy an Avid MAC Version.
Am I right in thinking Bootlcamp is a emulator and runs as low performance like VMWARE but re-labled? What is the performance and issues people have seen with Production Studio.
Thanks,

Well, actually, they might be partly right. Although, I doubt that more than 2 cores will be in use, I have seem many demanding PC applications, including DV Rack run really smoothly under bootcamp on a Core 2 duo MacBook pro.
And in the end, it’s a little like me running one of my machines an Vista, it’s run fine so far and I really like the fact that I get to use Vista (I guess I’m in the minority), but I won’t complain if I lose a half day of work due to project corruption or buggy interface. Nothing wrong with wanting the latest right away, just be ready to do plenty of back-ups.

If he wants to run Adobe on a Mac why doesn’t he wait till Adobe ports their software properly to run on the machine.

Hello,
I agree totally I told him to wait till 2 months as it should be shipping then and this way it would of been tried and tested. You know what people are like getting wrong info from PC World and rushing into such a decesion. I can see it all ending in tears and I told him today I have told you so so I am not going to fix it or re-install if there are any problems.
From reading previous posts with bugs and errors I would wait till the proper MAC software is ready.
Thanks,
Leo

A graphic designer friend of mine bought a macbook pro to use for windows XP. It all works fine apparently except XP doesnt scale back the processor usage when idle and so it get very hot and the battery is used more quickly. So he has now switched to OSX…
