My bigger goal in this blog is to provide a few emulation suggestions for less common platforms that are test-worthy on CompTIA exams. In either case you need to be aware that selected hardware dependent features will not work, since the Apple hardware and OS platform is proprietary. Both platforms work well to emulate Windows environments. I enjoy using several of the integrated features offered by Parallels, so don’t mind paying the extra cost. Bootcamp comes with the MacOS system, so is free. Parallels offers a decidedly marketing based comparison. To virtualize Windows Operating Systems on an Apple Platform, you can try Boot-Camp from Apple or Parallels Desktop. Using tools like Microsoft Client Hyper-V or Oracle VM Virtual Box are heavily discussed across the web. One of the instructors specifically asked about emulators or virtual platforms. I consider it a powerful testimony when other instructors attend my classes to improve their skills, or to discover a new way to present material that their students will remember and correctly apply.ĭuring a recent CompTIA A+ course, a local community college instructor and a school district technology curriculum developer attended solely for the purpose of gaining presentation insights and new materials. Students in several of my classes attend to ‘borrow’ my teaching materials.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
