"Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac" Pre-order -- With all the press coverage of Apple's Boot Camp, many people have wondered about the reality of running Windows on Intel-based Macs, but they've been hesitant to devote the time and money to installing Windows XP, especially since Boot Camp may not be the best solution for running Windows on a Mac. If you haven't yet installed Windows on your Mac, or if you want to try the alternatives, you can now take advantage of carefully researched, real-world advice from installation expert Joe Kissell (the best-selling ebook author of "Take Control of Upgrading to Tiger," among other titles).
The pre-sale version of "Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac," available now for reading and comment in nearly complete draft form, walks you through the entire process of installing Windows on your Mac. Notably, the ebook doesn't limit itself to discussing Boot Camp, instead looking at the pros and cons of Boot Camp, Parallels Workstation, and Q for Intel-based Macs. Then Joe dives into what he does best: explaining solutions to the inevitable pitfalls you'll experience when installing and using Boot Camp and Parallels Workstation. And because installing Windows exposes you to an entirely new world, Joe also helps you configure Windows to avoid the nearly ubiquitous viruses, worms, spyware, and adware. Lastly, if you haven't yet made the jump to an Intel-based Mac, an appendix covers solutions for running Windows on PowerPC-based Macs.
