zip file and running the patch in a command window as Administrator. Once downloaded it was simply a matter of opening the. I wanted to find out if it works! So off I went to and downloaded the file (I had to register first.), and downloaded and saved the file to my hard drive. So out to Google I go, and what do you know!! I found this blog article that describes a VMware patch that does exactly that!

So I got to thinking wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to run Mac OS X as a virtual host through VMWARE. I am a big proponent of Virtual Machines, and have several with various version of Linux, Windows 8.1, etc. I figured that if I have to switch to Adobe Lightroom I might as well try something completely different.Īs OS X was not one of the reasons that pushed me away from the Apple Camp, I would still like to play around with it, and review the odd software from time to time. While I have not yet seen the replacement photo.app, I do not see how it will offer the same speed and flexibility as Aperture. Which is the photo management software I have been using for the last 5 years. The 2nd and final nail in the coffin was the decision to kill of Aperture. Not to mention you cannot use boot camp on an external drive. I have 4 hard drive filled with photos and video, and I do not want to lose them, nor do I want the rats next that having 4 external hard drive chassis will create.
The new Mac Pro removes itself from being a viable workstation replacement for be because it does not offer internal expandability. The main reason I saved up and spent so much money on the professional level Mac desktop was for the internal expansion that it offers. However Apple has made some changes to their hardware and software line that I could no longer support. I love the OS X operating system, it’s fast, and extremely stable, and did everything that I needed it to do. Why did I make the switch? I have nothing against Apple, I think they make a great product that far outlasts their competition as far as useable performance. This is only the second time that I have used a Windows computer as my primary workstation. I have been pretty quiet about the fact that I have switched from using a 2008 3.0GHz 8 Core Mac Pro to a Dell Optiplex 9020 running Windows 7 Ultimate.
