  • Run Windows at native speed using Bootcamp environment. Apple and most MAC users seem to endorse this framework as stable for most application and is free. See supported links below: A) Apple Support – http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461
  • Running PRO on a cloud based virtualized desktop or a native virtualized Window’s environment. A) The most robust of the two virtualization environment is VMWare Fusion since it is a native virtualized environment on the MAC. For that reason it is quite stable, fast and scalable. The cost is $70 for the VMWare Fusion software. http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/ Here is a tutorial for setting up VMWare Fusion and DAS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZkJbtlKVvs B) For the cloud based solution, the user must use Remote Connect app or similar remote access technology from the MAC or any non-windows OS to access PRO. Limited to one monitor but is quite stable and is suitable for someone who is not looking for Free solution want to use a non-Window OS and want access to his configured DAS PRO desktop remotely using any OS system that has Remote Connect available.
