[quote M A V I C]Yes, you are inferring incorrectly. How would I know it? Because I wrote it and I know what I meant.
Too bad you didn't actually write what you meant.
You might as well have written "reboot and click OK". Yes, technically, you didn't have to mean those two things IN THAT ORDER. But what would the world think if you said "reboot and click OK".
You can ascribe your own meaning to words and phrases. If you like communicating with yourself, that's fine.
But here you are trying to offer advice to someone, yet you insist on using this private language of yours. Hmmmmm.
Oh yeah. Now it's clear. Yeah. Now it's SO obvious that's what you meant. Sheesh. I mean, anyone can just go back and look at what you wrote and it's instantly obvious.
Right.
But again, there you are talking about boot camp as if it's a thing. It's not. You don't run anything in boot camp. You set your computer up for dual boot and a native Windows environment.
"I'm comparing parallels and boot camp". That still doesn't say anything. You're comparing Parallels and dual boot, with booting natively into Windows.
I'll say it again: Macintosh people think they're running things "in boot camp". How long will they talk like this? How long will it take for Macintosh people to (a) understand a native Windows machine, and (b) acknowledge that their precious Apple hardware is being used without a lick of Mac OS running?
Actually, the first priority is that one must use Boot Camp to set up the partition and then install Windows and the various hardware drivers.
Once the partition is set up and the drivers disc is made, Boot Camp is gone. Throw it in the trash, it's useless. You don't run anything IN boot camp, and you don't even run Boot Camp again.
And once you reboot, that's it. "Reboot into Windows" is what you meant to say. But in your private language, "reboot and use boot camp" somehow has the same meaning. Worse, you expect that everyone talks in YOUR private language with YOUR private meanings.
And that's where you're wrong. You don't "use" boot camp. First priority: reboot. Second priority: use boot camp. Well, anyone who can read Apple's instructions would know that's completely wrong.
Apparently, you're incapable of reading Apple's instructions.

I put it in that order as a matter of stressing the priority of difference between boot camp and Parallels.

The first priority in the difference for user experience is that one must reboot.

And once you reboot, that's it. "Reboot into Windows" is what you meant to say. But in your private language, "reboot and use boot camp" somehow has the same meaning. Worse, you expect that everyone talks in YOUR private language with YOUR private meanings.
So I put that first. The secondary priority to that difference is to use boot camp.
And that's where you're wrong. You don't "use" boot camp. First priority: reboot. Second priority: use boot camp. Well, anyone who can read Apple's instructions would know that's completely wrong.
