![]() Fusion 4, the newest version, supports the rush of 3D applications with OpenGL 2.1 and DirectX 9, says Temme. Things can get a little more problematic with Windows games. 'But we're getting close.' Office applications usually do fine with the virtual Windows machines. It still isn't as good as Windows with Bootcamp, says Temme. That means constant work to improve the performance of the virtual machine. 'We want to make it possible for Windows users to change platforms,' says VMWare manager Holger Temme. 'After the one-click installation you quickly get comfortable in this new unfamiliar Windows 8.' Competitor Fusion, from VMWare, also supports installation of Windows 8 on Macs. 'Windows 8 is a very exciting topic for us,' says Parallels manager Alexander Pantos. Parallels Desktop has a direct link to it in its seventh version. People of a more experimental nature can get around this hurdle by using Developer Preview, an earlier test version of Windows 8. Regardless, to use Microsoft on a Mac, you're going to need a valid Windows license. Parallels Desktop and Fusion let users operate Windows or Linux simultaneously with the Mac operating system. Bootcamp is an Apple tool that allows users to open other operating systems, like Windows or Linux.
