Parallels Desktop for Mac (US $79.99) and VMware Fusion (US $49.99) – both run Windows from a disk image created on your hard drive, while OS X continues to run simultaneously, making both operating systems and your nominated shared files and folders available at all times. As a translator, this would have severely limited the research I could do and software I could use while working on a document, so I decided against it. But Boot Camp won’t let you run Windows and OS X at the same time, meaning there’s no way to switch between them without rebooting. Here are the options:īoot Camp (free) – this comes included in Apple’s OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, so costs nothing. Since Trados will only run on a Windows operating system, I had to either install Windows on my Mac directly or create a virtual PC and run Windows on that. I used OmniDiskSweeper to analyse my iMac’s hard drive, see which files were taking up the most space and delete, delete, delete. This is going to sound obvious, but a lot of the software I had to install required a lot of space. After seven years of resistance, I have finally given in and installed Windows on my Mac – just so I could run SDL Trados Studio 2011.
