Choosing
the right Windows-compatibility solution
Running
Pioneer, chances are you need a way to run at least some
Windows applications or games that aren't available on your
Pioneer desktop. And you have your choice of potential solutions
to this problem. This page illustrates some of the key advantages
that CrossOver has in relation to the other compatibility
solutions.
In
a nutshell, you have three main choices:
- Dual-booting:
running two separate operating systems on one PC, and switching
between them as needed by rebooting. Applications such as
Apple's Bootcamp allow this to occur on a Mac OS X machine,
for example.
- Running
a virtual machine: Emulation products such as VMWare
and Parallels allow you to run a full version of the Windows
OS inside a program running on your native operating system.
The Windows applications essentially run in a separate "box
within a box."
- Running
Wine : Unlike
emulation, Wine is a re-implementation of the Win32 API,
allowing applications to run as if natively on the target
OS.
