An Alternate to Bootcamp – Installing Windows in Mac OS X Lion

Bootcamp is provided by Apple Inc  after snow leopard to meet the demand of using windows with Mac.  As the matter of fact windows still enjoying having maximum number of users around the world.  Flowing boot camp with snow leopard was like successful try to increase number of Mac users and also to satisfy the new Mac users you are not feeling that much comfortable in Mac as with windows. 

 Boot Camp is included  with Mac OS X so you can run compatible versions of Microsoft Windows on an Intel-based Mac.

But after the launch of Mac OS X Lion the problem of boot camp become very common. (Even I was facing problem in installing window7 on my Mac mini). Not only this, I personally feel very sad when have to restart my Mac when need to work on window while working on Mac ( to use bootcamp, we need to restart Mac and then boot with Windows). If you are also thinking like me the next image is enough to increase your excitement.

Yes... it is possible to use both Mac and windows simultaneously without even restarting the Mac. This visualization possible with the help of application called Parallels Desktop.

It is the application due to which you can use Mac (either iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air) and windows 7 simultaneously and that all without rebooting! Not only this you can simply drag and drop files of windows in Mac or vice versa. You can simple use window application from Mac dock.

Are you still fighting your Mac OS X Lion to create bootcamp or facing any issue after creating bootcamp? This alternate method could be most useful for you. But above all, do not forget to take backup either going for bootcamp or parallels desktop! Keep two basic Mac software (trusted Mac data recovery and Backup software) always near you they could be needed anytime.
