Chad, I DID read the entire thread.
In fact, I read the very first post, where Channing said he wanted to get an iMac, but play PC games on it.
I know bootcamp is a great solution for this problem, but *my* problem is that it's just a dual boot system. Whoopdie do. Depending on what channing wanted to do, a virtualization scheme MIGHT WORK.
If you would read MY post, you would see where I said "vmware would be cheap and easy..." the easy part being key. No rebooting, no dual boot voodoo. Very flexible. Performance hit? Sure. But depending on what he wanted to run, that might not be a big deal.
I know what boot camp is. I know what VMWare is (I work with it every goddamn day) and I know what the difference between the two is. But when Channing said:
I decided to give him mine. I didn't realize there was a rule on this forum against offering possible alternatives. Notice I didn't say "If you want to play PC games, buy a PC." Instead, I gave a possibly viable alternative, and I don't really feel like you were justified in jumping my shit about it.
