Default Dual boot Mac owners - are you using the PC side of your Mac to run BB desktop?

Please Login to Remove!

So far I am using Missing Sync to syncronize my BB data

quite happy with that..

But worry about the back up of things like Password Keeper and other things Missing Sync cant handle...

Here's another question.. can BB desktop loaded up on the PC side of a Mac, access the Mac's data (like Address book and Contacts) I would doubt it! Right?

Any how anyone out there with a Mac doing anything like this?

Default hey casper

i use pocket mac to sync note, contacts, calendar. However I still have a PC laptop that I use to backup and load programs. Sorry I can't offer help with your specific questions, I haven't loaded windows on my mac yet. I hate to ruin a perfectly good mac with windows, even though windows probably runs better on a mac.

I use pocket mac to do all my syncing on the mac side. I did a software update a few days ago on the windows side. I use the blackberry software as a basis of updating the os only.

I use VMWare Fusion to run a XP virtual machine for Desktop Manager.. No dual boot required. It will also run vista. Don't use Parallels . . .it's crap with no tech support.
