BootCamp makes Apple ...

BootCamp accidentally revealed the fact: OS X is slower than Windows. It is easy to understand why Apple is "wearing clothes" in the middle of the way for this software. One of the problems arises when introducing Boot Camp, the program that allows users to operate in parallel with OS X and Windows operating systems, so that users can easily put them on the balance table.

According to the Penny Arcade Website, Boot Camp has exposed the weaknesses and strengths of both operating systems, making it easy to evaluate and comment.

To check, an expert of this website installed BootCampe on his MacBook computer, then installed Windows and finally a World of Warcraft game.

The test starts. World of Warcraft is activated with all graphical settings set to maximum.

Of course, OS X still plays WoW relatively, but the read speed of the device is only about 15 - 20 frames per second. Meanwhile, the same laptop, under Windows operating system mode, has the same settings, the player has played at 35-40 frames per second.

This is not a small difference. And although he likes to use OS X, he has to admit, the fact that a game can run nearly twice as fast as Windows has made him "freaky".

Three operating systems

Earlier, earlier this week, a website of the open source community claimed to have successfully written a detailed "cooking" recipe for the operating system hotpot. Accordingly, you will be able to use Apple's Boot Camp software to run additional Linux operating systems on Mac computers using Intel chips.

However, this process is very complicated and OnMac.net recommends only very sophisticated users who are knowledgeable about new technologies to try, because the hard disk partitioning process can destroy all saved data. inside the drive.

First, BootCamp will boot to install Windows XP. After successful installation and configuration settings, the Linux download process begins.

Analysts say that BootCamp will help Apple increase market share in the hardware market, but progress will be slow and buyers will not rush to buy Macs. However, with the discovery that OS X may be slower than the above Windows, this prospect is still very remote.
