Even Windows is better on a Mac

You’ve probably heard it from me, and if you follow Mac news at all, you’ve probably heard it from Gruber and now you can hear it from another that a Mac is the best PC to run Windows. I couldn’t agree more.

I have used Windows under emulation almost as long as Windows has been shipping. I ran Windows on SGI hardware first and then later on Mac OS. I wrote the Kysor Fan Program for Windows, using Visual Basic. The notable part of that is that Kysor bought me a license for SoftWindows and I wrote the vast majority of the KFP on my personal Mac, because it was so much more stable than Windows on bare iron.

Since then emulation moved from software to hardware and now Windows can run natively on my Mac via Boot Camp or virtually under Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. As I’ve blogged about before, getting a clean and happy install of Windows has never been easier than when installing it on a Mac.

  1. Couldn’t agree more, Matt (though I’ve not personally experienced it yet, I trust the various sources from which I’ve heard this), which is why the next purchased computer in the Simon household will be a Mac, without question. 🙂 Boot Camp will allow my kids and wife to get their ToonTown fix. 😉

  2. I know this is the house of Pro Mac…
    I routinely have issues with my Parallels…
