Windows. Unfortunately, for some people it’s a fact of life, like death and taxes. Ok, I’m teasing. I’ve always tried to downplay the Mac vs Windows debate, so I shouldn’t even bring it up. I prefer the Mac for a number of reasons, but I understand that Windows has benefits. I do tip my hat to Microsoft for offering a platform that made mass computer ownership feasible, even if some of their best ideas were cribbed from Apple (who in turn cribbed some of them from Xerox).
For a few weeks, Small Dog is offering discounted prices on popular Macs with Parallels 4 and Windows Vista pre-installed. Parallels is an excellent program for running Windows, Linux, and other operating systems on a Mac. It’s a virtualization program, so you can run your Windows apps next to your Mac apps, without having to reboot your Mac. We’ve sold hundreds of copies of Parallels, and users consistently report great results.
The “Home” edition of Vista has the been most popular flavor of Windows that we sell pre-installed on Macs (XP Pro had that distinction, but Vista Home has caught up).
Again, the bundles include Windows Vista Home (OEM), Parallels 4 OEM, and installation. for $169.99 (normal cost is $209.99).
For example, here is a 2.0GHz MacBook with 2GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, SuperDrive, Parallels 4.0, Windows Vista Home, installation of those titles, and free shipping, for $1459.99
Pre-installation of Vista and Parallels is available on in-stock iMacs, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and Mac Pros. Email Sales@smalldog.com with questions or a quote.
