Here on the "Help" for VirtualBox, for the complete novice like me, the system is not so good. not done without initial trepidation as it was not made clear anywhere that during the process the already installed Windows XP and the associated software would not be affected by the upgrading process. The upgrading of VirtualBox from version 2.1.4 to version 2.2.0 was wonderfully easy, BUT. It is early days yet, and there may be problems down the road, but for the regular day to day use so far, all is going well. THE problem with "BootCamp was the, slow, oh so slow, opening of the system, and the inability to jump back to the Mac system with the ease that is possible with "VirtualBox". With the exception of "BootCamp, this was not so with the other two setups.

Using Windows under VirtualBox it is as if I am using a real straight Windows machine and, so far all the commands in my software running on XP seem to operate as normal. Again I was unable to find an easy method with the other setups.ģ. I am able to move files between the two systems with relative ease, using "Cut & Paste". This I was not able to do with the other three.Ģ. I can jump from the Windows system to the Mac system almost at the click of a mouse. I have found "VirtualBox" to be the most stable and FOR ME the best, so far.ġ. On my Intel iMac, I have tried running Windows XP(SP3) using "BootCamp", "Parallels", "CrossOver", and now "VirtualBox". This is hoping that you see this after so many months have gone by since your posting.
