So, I set about working on a dual-boot scenario. I originally thought I'd just build it into a Virtual Machine (using Parallels), but was concerned that I might not have the control over the hardware that I'd need in order to make Kali effective as a learning environment. When you want to switch to OS X or Windows, just reboot and hold down the Option key to select what partition to boot.I recently decided to run Kali Linux on my MacBook.Run the Boot Camp installer application and all the Windows drivers for your Apple hardware will be automatically installed.

It also makes it possible to do things that were not possible with virtualization software such a 3D gaming. Removing the need for the VM by natively running Windows has a big performance benefit. It is now possible to dual boot OS X and Windows so that you can simply reboot and startup in Windows. The only way to run Windows applications on a Mac is to run Windows in a VM. Why would you want to do this? While OS X is a pretty OS, Windows applications will not run on it. Ever since Apple switched over to Intel processor, the same processors that are used in some PCs, it has been possible to run Windows on the Apple hardware.
