So if there two are comprambile to each other, then I'd pick running Photoshop and other programs on my Mac OS partition. The question remains is the Mac OS faster than a Windows OS on a new Macbook or Imac? Is a piece of software emulating on the new Mac OS faster or slower than the Windows OS? As both a PC and Mac owner, I find the Mac OS much more stable than Windows. Since photoshop for windows is designed for exactly that OS, it may be faster to run certain programs in the Windows partition of your mac than in the Mac OS (for the time being). The result is that even though photoshop will run faster on your newer machine, it isn't running as fast as it can. It's like running Photoshop in VirtualPC but not nearly that complex. They are being run in mini background programs to support their structure.
That's because programs like Photoshop for Mac are still written for the old Mac OS architecture. With that said, many of your programs you are using (Adobe products,etc) are running in emulator modes when you start up the Mac OS. As stated before Bootcamp just loads the Window drivers.
Secondly, the only difference really is that now the software of the Mac OS is programmed for the architecture and drivers of computer hardware that are similar to a PC's inards. Saying you won't buy a computer based on that is just consumer tantrums. The fact is that as they may not push the windows feature, they do secretly understand it will get people over to buy Macs and perhaps encourage them to us the Mac OS and not Windows in time. Apple's OS is a comptetitor to Windows, and they want people to use their OS and pay for the upgrades (just like one has to do with Windows). Of course there aren't Windows and of course they can't talk about it. reviews galore.įirst to continue with this "Guess they dont want my $3000" discussion. all you had to do is type "apple bootcamp" in google and boom.
There are tons of reviews online and there are other stores that offer to install windows on a mac and might even have it running in their store display. No it's just that it's been stated everywhere that apple won't be supporting windows, how would it look if they had windows running on the macs instore, i can sympathise with the employees why would you buy a mac to install windows it's like buying a farrari and filling the petrol tank with vegetable oil (also they are just following instructions from upper management), but i suppose a customer is a customer and if their are more mac users perhaps autodesk would get off their asses and produce a mac version of revit and or autocad. They said that since they didnt support Windows, they couldnt discuss it "I was at the Apple store in Pasadena last weekend.asked the guy if they had any computers set up to run Windows I was an architect and would be using AutoCad And don't try to kill the question simply because you don't have a useful response. If my question offends your delicate technological sensibilities, don't respond to it, TED.
And because I don't know a whole lot about Macs, especially now that they have new chips, I thought this might be a good place to ask, since I'm dealing with CAD software issue. This has never even been a consideration before because Macs have never supported ANY of the cad or 3d software that I use. So, if I thought that a new Mac running windows would outperform a pc running windows, then I would consider buying one. So my question, then concerns speed - all the graphics people I know who use macs spout continuously about how much better and faster they are for those types of applications the G5, when it was released, was touted as the fastest personal computer on the planet. But, as I understand it, the new macs with intel chips can run Windows like it is native, not as an emulator. I would never buy a mac and try to run pc-native 3d modeling software with an emulator like Virtual PC. Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but as my post stated I'm interested in performance.
