[X4U] Vista Home Basic With Parallels

[Tim Collier]

I recently had a MacBook (1.83 gig--sorta on the low end)  I decided  
to Run Vista Basic Home Edition on it via BootCamp.   It ran very  
well....even faster (my opinion) than OSX.  I then upgraded to the  
latest MacBook Pro and decided to run Vista Basic Home Edition via  
Parallels, it ran just as well.  But now, I decided I don't want  
Windows of any type on my MacBook Pro and have removed it.  But the  
overall performance was quite good.  That's my personal experience.   
I'm now selling the Install software on ebay.  We'll see how that goes.
