 |
|
Sorry, I'm a bit computer illiterate here. I've heard about Parallels Desktop, but I was wondering if any of you have suggestions.
I really need to be able to access Korean websites for school and work...and many are not opening properly on my Mac. Is there a program out there to help with this?
Thanks in advance for your advice! |

I've used Parallels and VMWare.
I prefer Parallels. If you buy a copy in Korea, it will come in Korean. You can contact support and they will switch it to English for you.
Bootcamp is free however you can't run OS X and Windows at the same time. |

I use Parallels on my old Mac with Snow Leopard. It has Windows XP and most Korean sites work on it OK including the banking websites, but there will be bugs. Sometimes it'll be just a formatting and layout issue but at other times security software won't install or some banking options won't work.
On my other Mac with Lion the new version of Parallels provides quite a seamless environment between Mac and Windows. |

Remember you'll need a copy of Windows to install on it as well.
Your other option is Boot Camp, but that requires a reset every time. |
