Message: <blockquote data-quote="HatWearingFool" data-source="post: 3814392" data-attributes="member: 54658">I've thought a bit more about my frustrations with bootcamp and I have few more things I would like to share.A big problem with using bootcamp or parallels (or other virtual machines) is that the software you are using isn't designed for your hardware. It's pretty obvious that fantasy grounds was designed from the ground up areound the concept of a 2 button mouse. And although I use 2 finger clicking on my macbook in mac os x, it doesn't seem to work well under windows. Also the mouse drivers seem a little wonky which isn't a lot of fun when you go to "throw" the dice.  I usually end up attempting to throw the dice 2 or 3 times.Another problem I have is for some reason the appostraphe (sp?) key doesn't seem to work. This is a small detail (and maybe I just have to setup a different keyboard), but it since it takes extra thought to do it I notice I type less than others. Thankfully this is mitigated by our use of Voice software otherwise this would be a much bigger deal.I've also noticed that it's tougher for me to do little maintaince items in between sessions. By this I mean leveling up my character and adding rule sets. The reason for this is that I can't just open up the program in a spare 10 minutes and make the changes since I have to shutdown and reboot my computer. And although this only adds a bit of time it also means that I have to stop everything else that my machine is doing.I know that this stuff sounds small but added up with what I stated before it's pretty annorying and detracts from my fun.Also I'd like to add that if I didn't get free Windows licenses from my employeer I wouldn't bother with either bootcamp or vmware fusion.</blockquote>
