You can use bettertouchtool to map another key to launch expose. I set double tap gestures on my magic mouse to do that.

Snapshot is like a saved state of your vm. By reverting to a previous snapshot, you can reload your previous configuration.

Can you list the recommended system specs for the software you gonna run?

What I meant was the system requirements to run item 1 & 2.
Not the system specs of your Mac.

Item 3 is definitely fine with just 4gb ram.

Edit: did a quick search, ard 2gb ram is required for visual studio and ms sql each.

So, go for 8GB ram.

okok,

thanks for the help.. got confused just now..

 

[davi502]

No worries. Even if you run bootcamp, 4GB RAM natively wouldnt be very sufficient, let alone say running parallels or vmware fusion.

i see.. I hope with 8gb ram.. it would not be very laggy...

Don't need.
But it still doesn't give you a licence to go about downloading all the porn you want. Still need common sense when you use a computer.

If you check the online store carefully, can.

Did you set to rotate your wallpaper?

[davi502]

What negativezero meant was did you set any settings to automatically change wallpaper.

go to System Preference > trackpad, look for something call Mission Control in there. I think it's not enabled.
