Microsoft RMS and Apple/Mac with Bootcamp

Apr 14, 2006 3 Replies

Question Has anyone been successful loading Microsoft RMS onto an Apple/Mac computer running a Windows Operating System and using BootCamp? This is new to the Apple world- but just wanted to see if there are any RMS users using this. Thanks!



Per the website- Apple introduced free software that makes it easy to install and run Windows on the latest Mac models as a complement to the Mac operating system. With this new software, called Boot Camp, you can turn your Mac into a fast, full-fledged Windows computer for those occasions when you must run a Windows program



From my understanding the software would work fine, although I haven't tried it. My big question would be the POS hardware involved. I know, for example, the Mac wireless keyboard and mouse won't work under the Windows boot. I don't know if that might translate into other hardware issues or not. I would also be curious to know if anybody out there has tried it, just for giggles.

I wish I had an Intel based Mac to try this on. Theoreticly, Windows devices should still run on the Windows boot.

From my understanding it should work. As for Devices, I would not expect a problem either. In the past (several years back), I often used OPOS hardware running VPC on a Mac.
