Mac Virtualization Software

Simulating Windows on a Mac

If you are using a Mac, you can install Windows virtualization software using one of the following programs:

  • VMFusion [1] (free 30-day trial)
  • Apple Boot Camp [2](included on your Mac machine if you are running Leopard MAC OS X v.10.5)
  • Virtualbox [3] (free open source software) 

Running this software on a Mac

Please note: your computer must be Intel-based 10.5 Leopard.

To find out what operating system you are running:

  1. click on the blue apple in the upper left-hand corner
  2. select “About this Mac”.

The pop-up window will display what OS is installed on your machine.

 


var _gauges = _gauges || []; (function() { var t = document.createElement('script'); t.type = 'text/javascript'; t.async = true; t.id = 'gauges-tracker'; t.setAttribute('data-site-id', '511b9986108d7b6809000026'); t.src = '//secure.gaug.es/track.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s); })();
