BEING A MAC IN A WINDOWS WORLDHave all the capabilities of both operating systems — and get stuff done
![Page 3: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE TODAY
• You’ll get a brief history of war
• We’ll debunk some myths and misconceptions about Macs and Windows
• We’ll discuss ways to conquer the cross-platform barrier
• I’ll reveal ways to perform common Windows tasks, but in Mac OS X
• You should interject with comments or questions at any time, because I tend to blather too much

DON’T BLAME THE CAMPUS: BLAME APPLE
• 1980s: Apple was first with Mac OS (’84), Windows came second (’85)
• Microsoft pitched to businesses, Apple pitched to... nerds and fans
• Oh, and I guess newspapers, creative services, and graphic designers
• Businesses prospered with Microsoft’s business-oriented server software and clients
• Apple tanked until the iMac (and iPod) came out
• Thus, Microsoft had the world, and Apple was trying to win home consumers back
![Page 7: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE CIVIL COMPUTER RIGHTS MOVEMENT
• Long history of non-interoperabilitynon-in-ter-op-er-a-bil-i-ty: (adjective) 1. when Apple and Microsoft get in a fight, they break things for consumers 2. the degree to which things don’t work together
• Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard (OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6) bring us closer to harmony, cooperation, integration, world peace
• Snow Leopard can log into Active Directory, connect to Windows file shares, even work with Microsoft Exchange right out of the box
![Page 8: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHAT MACS CAN DO (THAT YOU MAYBE DIDN’T KNOW THEY COULD DO)
• Boot up
• Connect to Missouri State’s Wi-Fi
• Print to Missouri State’s lab printers
• Access Magenta, BEAR1, CISLABS, etc.
• Run (some) Windows applications almost natively
• Run Windows, Linux
![Page 9: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS TRUE(DEBUNKING SOME MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS)
![Page 10: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
IF I MAKE THIS ON A MAC, I WON’T BE ABLE TO OPEN IT ON A WINDOWS PC.
• If the software is on both Mac and Windows, file formats work peacefully
• If the software is Mac-only (GarageBand, iMovie, etc), then the file is Mac-only
• Unless, of course, you export to MP3/AAC or QuickTime
• Common file formats are the same on both platforms, too
• TXT, RTF, JPEG, WAV, MP3, AVI, MOV, etc.
![Page 11: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MACS & PCS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT, THUS I CAN’T NETWORK THEM TOGETHER.
• Left over from the ‘AppleTalk days’ where Macs had a different protocol
• Macs use the same connection protocols that Windows computers do
• Link Macs to Windows printers, share files between Mac/Windows computers
• Happy coexistence on home, work, public networks
![Page 12: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MACS DON’T CRASH, EVER.
• Crash a lot less than their Windows-based counterparts, but they still crash
• Based on BSD code, a UNIX variant (been around for longer than Windows)
• Apple makes the OS and hand-picks the hardware it runs on
• Thus, drivers (common source of Windows crashes) are usually developed by Apple
• Crashes still happen; all hardware fails at some point
• Always back up your data, no matter what computer you’re on
![Page 13: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MACS ARE FOR PEOPLE THAT DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE COMPUTERS.
• They sure can be, but doesn’t mean they’re made specifically for that demographic
• Great for the power user : get things done quickly with minimal effort
• Great for the über-nerd: UNIX 03 certified, full access to terminal/shell commands
• Used by IT professionals, web designers, faculty, students, and kindergartners alike
![Page 14: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MACS HAVE AN ‘APPLE TAX.’WHY PAY MORE FOR A COMPUTER?
• Apple competes in the mid- to higher-end hardware market; no stripped-down low-cost model is available
• Mac mini cost difference is slight, if any
• Higher-end Mac Pro cost difference is surprising: usually much less expensive than a Dell with identical specs
• All Macs come with full-featured operating system; Microsoft charges way more for their highest-featured OS edition, the ‘ultimate’
• Total cost of ownership also much lower; also usually less extra ‘required’ software to buy
![Page 15: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MACS CAN’T RIGHT-CLICK.
![Page 16: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MACS CAN’T RIGHT-CLICK.
![Page 17: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MACS CAN’T RIGHT-CLICK.
• Macs used to have one mouse button
• No longer true: desktop Macs come with the Magic Mouse which do left- and right-clicks
• Mac laptops have finger gesture right-clicks (two fingers on trackpad & click)
• Macs have always had ‘control-click’ contextual menu
![Page 18: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
THERE’S HARDLY ANY SOFTWARE AVAILABLE FOR MACS.
• Definitely not true: most common modern applications have Mac versions, or alternatives are available
• Microsoft Office, SPSS, Firefox, Adobe Creative Suite, Google Earth... way too many to numerate here
• Windows Media Center > Front Row
• Microsoft Visio > OmniGraffle
![Page 19: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

RUNNING WINDOWS ON YOUR MAC(HOW TO SETUP YOUR CROSS-PLATFORM COMPUTER)

![Page 25: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
VIRTUALIZATION
• Run Mac OS X, another ‘guest’ OS side-by-side
• More resource-intensive; requires lots of RAM (about 4GB for painless performance)
• VMware Fusion: 800-lbs gorilla of virtualization technologies
• Parallels Desktop: newcomer, also loaded with great features
• Sun VirtualBox: free, open-source virtualization; great on a tight wallet
![Page 26: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
WINE (WINDOWS EMULATION)
• Uses Windows APIs and patchwork to run applications ‘natively’ within OS X
• Many popular programs work with WINE
• Darwine for OS X is free WINE setup
• CrossOver is commercialized WINE, offers support for programs, games
![Page 27: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
BOOT CAMP
• Divide the hard drive, install Windows/Linux in its own partition
• Full-blown Windows installation; Apple supports this with its own drivers
• Easily switch between the two by rebooting
• Can’t have them both open at the same time
• Compatible with the most software
![Page 28: Being a Mac in a Windows World](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/5486b7ddb4af9f640d8b51fc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
