Is Mac Boot Camp worth it?

Question

There are some programs that I'd like to download that are for Windows only so I've been looking into using Boot Camp. Being my ignorant, eight grader, self; there are some questions I have about Boot Camp. My first question is: How do you go into windows mode and how do you get out of windows mode? My second question: How many GB's should the windows mode take up if I am only using it for a couple of programs downloaded off of the Internet? And my last question: What are the pros and cons of using Boot Camp? Are there any recommendations?

Answer 1

depends on the model of macbook u have. its good to at least have 100(45 for vista or xp) gigs for the windows partition[windows 7](make sure those gigs take less than 1/2 to 1/3 of your overall memory. Most macs use the option key to get in and out of it. Not many cons of boot camp ,except for battery life.i can do it well. I have an MBP- late '11 model, intel i5, 4 gigs of ram, 500 gb hard drive. if you have something like mine or better, you're good to go.
