Which of these is best, or don't use at all
A forum I belong to has poker , however not available for Mac . To be able to play on Mac I would have to install one of the following
Boot camp
Wine
Crossover, or parallels
Any of these recommended, or should I pass.

It's free, easy to use, and backed by a tech industry giant. Skip the rest, especially Wine and Boot Camp.

I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

I use parallel 8 and run windows 7 & 8 no problems -- windows starts & stops faster and has fewer problems! I have industrial programs windows only haven't had a problem one. cost aprox $50 --excellent support.

You can get all that for free with Oracle VirtualBox. There's really no point shelling out money for Parallels or Crossover.Harry00 wrote:I use parallel 8 and run windows 7 & 8 no problems -- windows starts & stops faster and has fewer problems!

You also need your own copy of Windows (or Linux) to install into it.
