Apple macOS and OS X Consultants:
Expertise for Virtual PC on Macs
Organizations often rely on software applications designed to run solely on Microsoft Windows. For businesses that have a combination of Apple Mac and Windows computers, there exist two popular solutions for running Windows-dependent applications on macOS or OS X: an external connection to a physical Windows computer or local emulation of a Windows operating system on a Mac computer. Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac allows you to connect a Mac to a networked Microsoft Windows-based PC to run Windows applications and access network resources. Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Apple Mac is a component of Microsoft Office for Mac and offers major improvements over older versions. Virtual PC for Apple Mac emulates Windows on an Apple Mac system so that you can use Microsoft Windows programs locally. Virtual PC for Mac was available in advanced editions of Office 2004 for Apple Mac but is not included in the current releases of Office for Mac. VMware Fusion allows you to run Windows as well as most other operating systems on a Mac.
Progent's macOS and OS X support experts can help your business to maintain these solutions for running Microsoft Windows programs on your Macs and can in addition help your business to assess and configure other products for Windows platform simulation.
Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Apple Mac
Remote Desktop Connection for Apple Mac enables you to attach your Apple Mac to a Microsoft Windows-based system to execute Microsoft Windows applications, access documents, and utilize network resources. You can copy documents between your Mac and your Windows-based system and print from Windows software to any printers connected to your Mac.
Desktop emulation requires comparatively modest processing utilization from the local Mac and so in typical situations provides higher responsiveness than processor emulation. To attach to a remote Windows-powered computer, you must have network connectivity and authorization to attach to the Windows computer. The Windows computer must also be running Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Services. MS Remote Desktop Connection for Apple Mac is available as a no-cost web download or as part of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and works with Windows Server 2008, 2003, Windows XP Professional, and Microsoft Windows 2000.
MS Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2 offers improved capabilities including:
- A GUI environment and options bar that makes the connection function simpler to use
- Remote Desktop Protocol version 6.0 for faster throughput and Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility
- Multiple session support for managing sessions with a number of remote computers
- Automatic reconnection for restarting a remote session if you drop the network connection
- Window sizing options for running the remote session as a full screen or in an adjustable window
- Apple Mac printing support for printing Microsoft Windows documents on an Apple Mac printer
- Network Level Authentication for enhanced protection when attaching to Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs
- Improved screen density to accommodate wide-screen displays
- Streamlined login options for enhanced productivity
Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac
Virtual PC for Apple Mac emulates an Intel/AMD-type processor and converts an Apple Mac into a virtual Microsoft Windows computer that allows you to utilize Windows PC software, documents, and network appliances. CPU simulation is processor intensive on the client Apple Mac and trades off some speed for convenience, flexibility, and a more complete set of features. Virtual PC version 7 works with the Apple Mac G5 processor and Apple Mac OS X version 10.3 (Panther) and was provided with the advanced version of MS Office 2004 for Mac.
Key features of Virtual PC version 7 include:
- Sharing of Folders and Removable Storage enables folder and media sharing between Windows and Mac programs and permits storing files in a folder on a Mac and retrieving them from within Microsoft Windows
- Access to Apple Mac and Windows PC Appliances makes it possible to access to an assortment of Microsoft Windows PC and Mac peripherals including printers and external disks, even ones made exclusively to be used on a Microsoft Windows system
- Cross-OS Cut and Paste enables Virtual PC 7 for Mac and an Apple Mac application to share a common clipboard for copying and pasting between Windows and Apple Mac platforms
- A Fast Save feature permits you to shut down a virtual PC in one step and start again from that position
- No Set-up Printing for Panther systems (Mac OS X 10.3) does away with the need to install special drivers. It is possible to select Print and utilize the same output functionality and drivers used by the Mac operating system.
