MC for Mac vs MC for PC installed on a Mac using Parallels?

(1/1)

GROBEC:
Hi
I Recently migrated to OSX and my 2 pcs with MC donated to new users [students].

I am presently using MC for Mac but miss the features and stability of the PC version.
questions
1/ any downside to running MC for PC on my Mac? [Parallels]
2/ Is there any special for Mac version owners who also wish to run the Windows version?
thanks
G

Just one thought - I do have Parallels on one of my Macs, but if I wanted to run the Windows version of MC on my Mac I would use Boot Camp, allowing me to boot natively into Windows.

The Boot Camp partition can co-exist with a Mac OS instance. Only difference is that unlike Parallels you cannot run both Operating systems at the same time.

MrC:
Several of us used it all the time, mostly for audio, some for images and video.  It works well.  The faster your Mac, the better the overall experience.

GROBEC:
Thanks all.
I suppose another alternative is to run it on a Windows machine and control it from my Mac? Do I have to buy a separate Win licence to do this?

MrC:
You need a separate license for each platform it runs on (Mac, Win).

If you want MC19, you'll have to wait for MC19 on the Mac to connect via Library Server.
