			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently installed Revit 2010 on a MacBook Pro.  The MacBook had Boot Camp installed and also VMWare Fusion 3.  The install went onto the Boot Camp partition fairly easily.  The Boot Camp partition was Windows XP.  I installed Revit 2010 on my laptop with Windows 7 &#8211; so I am testing it out on that also.</p>
<p>Using Boot Camp is better with VMware Fusion. I no longer have to choose between Windows and Mac at startup.  I can run my Windows partition side-by-side with the Mac OS. VMware Fusion automatically recognizes my Boot Camp partition and lets me run it concurrently with the Mac.  I can also run it in Unity mode which makes the partition sit right alongside my Mac programs as if it were part of the Mac OS.</p>

<p>You can also go to Full Screen to see the entire Revit program.  Just click on the VMWare option&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.BIMManager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Revit-Mac-2.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-393" title="Revit-Mac-2" src="http://www.BIMManager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Revit-Mac-2.jpeg" alt="" width="125" height="78" /></a></p>
<p>Boot Camp supports the 32-bit releases of Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista. You can run either operating system on your Mac at native speed by booting into the Windows environment.</p>
<p>Boot Camp Assistant creates a partition just for Windows XP without erasing your existing Mac OS X information.  The drivers are automatically installed after installing Windows when you insert the disc into your Macintosh.</p>
<p>After running Boot Camp and installing Windows XP or Vista, you can switch between Windows and Mac OS X by holding the Option (Alt) key at start up.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.BIMManager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/BootCamp.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-396" title="BootCamp" src="http://www.BIMManager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/BootCamp.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="205" /></a></p>
<p>When you start your Mac, holding down the Options (Alt) key, it will offer you the bootable partitions.  Select Windows to boot directly into Windows.</p>
<p>I have noticed that the direct boot method is best for long term work.  Quick checks of models in Revit can be done via VMWare, but it is much slower than a direct Windows boot.</p>
