Running Structured Frame 7.2/8 on Macbook Pro under OS 10/Parallels

[Robert Stoker]

I run structured Frame 7.2 on a Macbook Pro through Parallels (with 
Windows XP on the Boot Camp partition) on my "in-the-field" machine. 
The configuration seems pretty solid. Working on the local hard drive, 
FrameMaker performance is acceptable although quite a bit slower than 
Frame 7.0 running on my G5 Mac desktop configuration. If you are 
accustomed to working on an older Windows machine, you will likely see 
an increase in performance.

Watch out if you work on a cross-platform server. The Frame/Parallels 
configuration is significantly slower when your work resides on a Mac 
server (for additional information, see 
http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2007-June/008046.html). 
You probably won't notice much of a difference if you work on a Windows 
server or if you work locally.
