Top Business Models that rocked 2010.

Even if an organization has a great product/service offering, I think it is very important that they have a very good business model in place to complement it. A successful business model not only gives an organization a sustainable competitive advantage that will set it apart from others but I think it is also often the difference between surviving and not. I came across these great slides that pretty much portray the big hitters of 2010 and I recommend looking at it. Awesome!

Windows on Mac OS

There is always a bit of confusion about the right way to use Windows from a Mac OS, bootcamp or VMware. One nice thing about using Boot-camp and Parallels/VMware fusion together is having only one installation of Windows. Then when you are on Mac OS, if you need to run Windows for a typical office type application, you can just launch Windows via Parallels/VMware fusion(your bootcamp installation).

This way not only allows one installation of Windows but also only one Windows to update and keep current.

Also if you install your bootcamp Windows installation using a NTFS partition, you can run WinClone from the Mac side to backup your Windows installation. WinClone works great.
