Hi I have a Macbook Pro (with Intel dual core 2 processors). I want to go out and buy the correct version of Vista (yes I know...) to make a Parallels VM. Do I need 32 or 64 bit? Anyone? Cheers, Diz
32 bits. Parallel does not support virtualizing a 64 bit CPU. And I believe you may need to buy the ultimate version, as Microsoft's EULA forbids any Vista home installation in a virtual machine
Dang! I just read the Sticky about using home editions of Vista! WTF? I need a rethink. I'll probably go for XP Pro now. Grrrrrr! B&^**!!£ Microsoft. The question remains - 32 or 64 bit please? Diz
Thanks fbronner - Yep! I just read the note. :-O I'm unimpressed to say the least, as I chose Parallels as an affordable way of accessing my Windows apps. Thanks for the quick response. Diz
OK - I threw caution to the wind and installed Vista Bisiness (32-bit of course). It seems fine but it certainly reminds me why I switched to a Mac! Done!
I will wait a year before going from WinXP sp2 to Vista and for Vista SP 1 Probably not even then unless on a new machine Hugh W
