So Apparently It's Not All That Simple

Running Parallels I mean.

Currently, I'm working of getting a Window's desktop on my Mac laptop so I can play P101 and a variety of other Window based RPG's since Mac's are stupid and can't handle them (for shaaaame). One way to do this is by downloading a program called Parallels, which allows you run a Window's desktop and your Mac desktop at the same time. Great, right?

However, apparently you need to first have the Window's program on your Mac, and that's where google gets a little hazy. I've searched every possible way to try to find how to get Window's, but it either sends me to Parallels, to Boot Camp, or some vague answer about how to update to the lastest Window's version.

Thank's google.

And though you need Window's to run Parallels, the Parallels website only says "DOWNLOAD NOW =D" and sends you on your way with extremely little information. I was, however, able to search about whether or not you need Window's first to run Parallels - and that, at least, gave me a straight answer:

Yes.

Great.

Now my confusing question is this: Do you actually need Parallels? Because Boot Camp runs Window's, just not with Mac simultaneously. I was told you need to buy a copy of Window's, but Parallels runs with Boot Camp, which, for that, all you need to do is download.

I'm sure this would SO much easier if Parallels, on their front page, or at least the shopping page, states "YOU NEED WINDOW'S FIRST! CLICKY HERE TO GET IT!" and not just double cross you like that -_- I haven't bought it yet, and already all these vague answers are really starting to annoy me.

Basically, the overall point of this post is that it may take a lot longer than I thought to get some form of Window's - man, I was really looking forward to beating on some warfrats soon :( I guess I'll just go back to writing-and-editing land.

Laterz!
