Find essential advice for running Windows on your Intel-based Mac! Read this book to learn why you want to use a Mac to run Windows; understand the pros and cons of Apple's Boot Camp versus virtualization software; and find advice and step-by-step instructions for installing either Windows XP or Vista in Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop 3.0, VMware Fusion, and VirtualBox. You'll also get help with connecting third-party peripherals and printers, sharing files between operating systems, avoiding Windows malware, and backing up a Windows installation. Plus, the book looks briefly at running Windows software without installing Windows and at running Windows on PowerPC-based Macs.

Should I run Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox? How can I best right-click in Boot Camp? How can I make my Bluetooth device work with Boot Camp? What are my options for sharing files between Windows and Mac OS X? What is a smart way to back up my Windows installation? How can I print from my Windows software?
