login123 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Microsoft offers "A $25 USB Stick With Windows 8 Pro And Parallels For Mac" http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/02/microsoft-quickstart-kit-for-mac-developers-25/ 1000 units sold out almost immediately. Wonder what that means for microsoft? The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted April 6, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2013 by sheer coincidence, I worked on two Macs this week with Win7 and Parallels. seemed a very solid VM software. Parallels they paid $80 for and depending on how you get Win8, it can be as little as $30 or $40, so $25 for the stick, win8 and the VM is a great price.

TheWebAtom Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Parallels is very solid software. They have a product called 'Desktop' that lets you run Windows software (almost) natively on the Mac, without having to switch to the Windows UI. (sidenote: why do many old-time Windows users insist on capitalising the word 'Mac?' Is it a habit from a historical Apple naming convention?) I'm Shane.

I got rapped on the knuckles too many times in Grade 5 English class if I didn't. it's the name of something; like John or Paris. old habits die hard...

TheWebAtom Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I mean full capitalisation, eg. 'MAC' instead of 'Mac' I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 OT: Shane, I did some googling and found that no one knows why this happens. Some have attributed it to seeing things like MAC (the address) and Mac and thinking they're the same thing. The only other thing I can think of is My Apple Computer (MAC) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Could also stem from petty mac/pc arguements. "Well my MAC only gets the pinwheel of doom sometimes!" winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wow, I really must be out of the Mac loop, I've never seen it written as MAC.

Guest Keatah Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 When I write official correspondence I generally use "Mac". This is a sign of respect to capitalize a name. I don't use "mac" unless I'm insulting the platform. And "MAC" refers to MAC address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
