[spock]

ho una domanda base (spero sia attinente al topic).

Ho sul mio MBP una partizione fatta con Bootcamp in cui ho Windows XP. Vorrei rimuovere il tutto in quanto quando gira su Win il mac tende a scaldarsi di piu' (mi sembra di ricordare fosse un problema di setting del Clock) ed a volte puo' essere fastidioso.

Quindi installerei Parallel 5 (mi si dice essere migliore di fusion). Ora vorrei sapere come avviene l'installazione. Essendo un emulatore immagino vada fatta sulla partizione Mac. Corretto?

L'ultima versione l'avete testata ? Posso prenderla o meglio aspettare?
Infine... la partizione Win la posso rimuovere oppure devo riformattare tutto HD?
