Windows Gui - Running on a Mac.

Intresting little snippet of information.
We have managaed to get the Windows version of SAP GUI running on OSX Lepoard, using
sun global desktop.
Quite neat.
Works perfectly on version GUI version 7.10, without any issues.
runs in in an X window, really bit of clever technology.
If anyones intresting i can get some info...............

Technically the system works as follows, on a basic level. I'll post a systems architecture pic at some point.
Log to Sun Global Desktop via the web.
Usuall list of applications down the left hand side.
Clicking on windows apps such as Word, Excel takes you off to a windows terminal server.
The terminal server session that is running the GUI is displayer on you mac as an xwindows session.
You can then log into the GUI as normal.
whats occuring is a vitual server session runnings on a windows box that is displayed on a mac via x-windows.
The version of the gui that works via SGD is 7.10
Regards ( If that makes sense)

Quicken 2010 for Windows (Canadian version) on a Mac

Hello
I hope I am posting in the right forum - if not, perhaps someone could re direct me.
I am a former Mac user (Mac SE) who had to move to the PC Windows world because that what was used where I worked. Now that I am retired I would very much like to move back to Mac. However, while in the Windows world I became very dependent upon Quicken , so much so, that I can no longer get along without it.
Everything that I have read tells me that Quicken for the Mac is not the equal of Quicken for Windows. Intuit says there is a new Mac version coming along, but even this new version will not have the features that the Windows version has.
At the Apple store I am told that Quicken 2010 for Windows will run on the Mac using Parallels or VMware Fusion or Bootcamp. Bootcamp is not a viable solution for me as I would want to run Quicken concurrent with Mac apps. No one has been able to show me Quicken 2010 for Windows working on a Mac, nor have I been able to talk to anyone who has it working on her or his Mac.
So, I ask on this forum, does any one have Quicken 2010 for Windows working on their Mac? If so, have you experienced any problems or does it run just as it would on a Windows PC?
If I can get affirmation that this vital piece of software will work for me, I would buy an new iMac in an instant.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

According to the specs, it +Works with 32-bit Windows XP, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7+. AFAIK, all of those work on a Mac. Act accordingly.

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

What is the best way to run a Windows based software on a Mac? Paralles Desktop 10 for Mac or Bootcamp?

I am comparing Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac to Bootcamp. The difference I see is a seamless operation with Parallels and the need to restart the Mac with Bootcamp. Previously, I used VMware View Client to use the software from a virtual desktop. Now I am looking to just use the Mac and trying to find the most efficient system.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp. However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.) Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment. If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware. (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.) So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini. Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations. (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.) And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it. Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series. Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange. While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series. You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model. From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop. Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software. (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice. I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
So yes, it will work. But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

More RAM or memory needed to run Windows-- AutoCAD 2010 on my mac?

Hi all,
I have researched for days and have still not been able to find an answer, last time I was here I was thoroughly impressed with the help, so I'm back!
I have a MacBook 5,1, basic model 2 Ghz, 2GB, 65.7 GB free on my hard drive. I run parallels to use Windows XP to use AutoCAD 2010. I borrowed a friends Mac, a larger "better" model and was instantly jealous at the speed his computer was able to do the same tasks my computer takes when I have Windows/AutoCAD running.
So my question is.. would more RAM help with the speed and overall function of my computer? Would more memory help? A combo of both? Also where is a reliable place to purchase what I may need? The best (and most cost effective) advice for my computer would be GREATLY appreciated!
oh, would upgrading to Snow Leopard help as well? I am currently running just Leopard as far as I can tell (10.5.8). Also would this require me to reinstall all programs on my computer?
Thanks in advance,
Laura

The short answer to your question is a resounding YES! RAM and memory are the same thing, but having more of that would most definitely improve your performance at almost everything.
Upgrading to SL may help a little, but not nearly as much as more RAM. I'm not positive, but I think that model maxes out at 4GB, so that should be your goal. If it's 8GB, even better. The more RAM you have, the better things will be with a memory hungry app like AutoCAD.

Maybe too much work in your case to run 64-bit but yes.
2GB RAM is on the low end though for anything in the last 4 yrs - Mac OS Snow Leopard included.

Will Windows 7 Builder Pac run on my Mac mini?

Will Windows 7 Builder Pac run on my Mac mini?

As long as it's 64-bit it should install OK, but you'd be in breach of the license agreement, a Windows System Builder Pack is licensed for system builders to include/install on a new system; a retailer is not supposed to sell System Builder Packs without the relevant hardware.

Burn a windows dvd to run on my mac

The last one is why I think I cannot open it. I have never had a PC but I know that .exe is a Windows thing.
Is there a way I can burn/convert this DVD to run it on my Mac?
Thanks.

thanks for the help guys.
After reading the posts, I did a little work-around:
Installed Shockwave on Safari.
Copied the DVD to my computer.
Opened the .dxr files one by one on my Mac.
So that let me see the files at least.
Now I am going to try burning everything except the .exe file to a disk and see if that will run on my Mac.
Not sure about the autorun.inf file but it's better than nothing.

Running Windows on an Intel-based Mac

I'm trying to find info on using Windows on my iMac. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo, which I think means it can run Windows. I know absolutely nothing about this and can't find info anywhere. I presume I need to buy Windows software. What kind? Do I need to buy any other software? Anything else? Not that I WANT to use Windows, but I may have to add it to be able to continue serving one of my clients.

Is it something I can buy or download?
Purchase Mac OS X 10.5 if you want Boot Camp.
Or is it better to get one of the other two you mentioned?
Using an emulator causes Windows to run slower, but is more convenient to use compared to Boot Camp, as an emulator doesn't require restarting to change OSes.
