what is the difference between bootcamp assistant and vmware
I am about to add a partition to my Macbook Pro OS X 10.7.5 for a Windows Home Premium 7 Operating System installation. I have questions. I already have MS Office Mac 2011 running on this machine and now I need a full Windows OS on this machine thus the reason for the partition. I want to be able to toggle between Mac and Windows without powering down. Here are my questions. 1 - What is the difference between VMWARE Fusion4 version 4 and the already installed mac app Bootcamp Assistant? 2 - Do I need to run both and if yes - do I run Bootcamp first and then VMWARE? 3 - Once the new partition is installed, which version of Windows 7 Home Premium do I install 32 OR 64 bit. Lastly, is it OK to keep my MS Office Mac 2011 installed on the Macbook Pro partition or is it best to remove? I will be adding MS Office 2007 Professional to the new Windows Partition. Answers to these questions and any other thoughts are appreciated.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
