Hi there, If you check SQL2012 specs for Developer edition. Microsoft states it can be installed on Windows 8 64bit Professional and Enterprise, but I have never done that myself. As an alternative, you can easily download a Windows 2008R2 trial version, which is free, and you can install Windows 2008 via VMware fusion and run SQL2012 on top of that. I do also recommend, if you have USB 3.0 ports on your Mac, buy a SSD USB external drive and install your VMs there. The performance is amazing!

Yes this is the version you would buy to create a virtual machine on a Mac. I used this version to build a windows 8 machine on my iMac using Parallels. Works like a charm.

No idea. But I'm pretty sure you can. I would post this question on reddit.com/r/vmware I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

The software is Windows based. I use Parallels on a Mac and it works just fine, but it will not work with OSx.

Yes you can; but I suspect that you don't want to give up your MAC OS. If this is the case and you want to have both operating systems on your MAC, then please consider the following solution:http://www.parallels.com/landingpage/dskd87/special-offer/?utm_nooverride=1&gclid;=CI7Vq_WlyLQCFYl7Qgodg3EALgIt may cost you $70 but you will have both systems on one computer.

I use it with no problems on Windows 8 machines, Mac's and older windows versions. Was the drive setup for use on a Mac by any chance?

E. Marcucci, I was had a similar situation where I wanted to run real Windows applications. I originally purchased Parallels because I really like the graphic implementation however after 2 unexpected crashes I ended up returning it. The biggest problem I had with Parallels is they have horrid support. Honestly, the support is what really did me in. When I posted to the Parallels I never got a straight answer from a Parallel employee. I ended up sending a private message to one I found and he was helpful but it was a little late. Additionally, e-mail support was terrible and could never get a straight answer about how to return the product. I went with VMWare and have been happy. I was able to successfully use VMWare converter that converted my old Thinkpad laptop to a VMWare image and dump it on the Mac. It work with it every day. My company only support Windows operating system and never had any problem with the converted image. This is one opinion but the choice is yours. Parallels lost a customer with their lack of product support. Thanks

I don't have bootcamp set up at the moment but I couldn't see why not. If you format it to run on both windows and mac should be fine?

I also have a mac - just use Parallels or VMWare to run windows and do it from there. Or could boot Windows with bootcamp...

Yes, I run my Mac with windows 7 utilizing VMWare Fusion and it gives the same results running. 3840 x 1080 with no problem

No. You need windows 7 and natively installed. I tried to update it with a virtualized system (Parallels) on my MAC and it didn't work, I had to barrow a computer. But is quick...

It really shouldn't matter, regardless of your virtual machine, whether it's Bootcamp, Parallels, VMWare Fusion or some other. For me, I use VMWare Fusion and had zero "setup" to perform. I simply plugged in the dongle and the ethernet cable, and I was connected to the network immediately. Your performance may vary, if you have to setup your other USB connections - flash drive, power cable for your iPod/iPad/iPhone, etc. - in order to use them in your vm.

Mine, which I bought when I was using Windows, does not. As I recollect, from my research when I bought my Mac, they market a separate model for the Mac: it was signifcantly more expensive when I looked. I now run mine under VMWare on Windows on my Mac.

i think but you're going to need a virtual machine installed with windows installed because i don't think there's drivers for mac osx.

Yes, Clickfree does support Windows 7 and Windows 8. It also supports MAC. I have had excellent results with Clickfree. It can be used on multiple computers since it will automatically recognize each computer. It is being used to back up three computer at my office.J.M.LavinComputer Pro

I would not recommend it. I tried Call of Duty on Vista Ultimate on a VMware Fusion partition and it would not run at all - even with an iMac 2.8 GHz and 4 GB of ram. I also tried some less video card intensive games - Age of Empires and Command and Conquer and they pretty much bombed out as well. I suspect it is the VMware video drivers as you can only use their Direct X in emulation. If you do Bootcamp and load up XP or Vista the games will probably run faster than on your PC - that was my ultimate solution. As I understand it Parallels has the same problems. Hope this helps.

I tried using it on Mac but sadly it didn't work. Fortunately, works on Windows 8. Hoped I help!
