Hi, I'm a school student and we use Visual Studio Community 2015 on a PC at school. I'm trying to install the software on my Mac at home (I don't have a PC) to help with some homework and better understand the tool. And in the course Visual Studio Development on a Mac, you'll witness the impact a virtual machine running Windows and Visual Studio has on its host, the Mac OS X. This smooth performance is in the details of Apple's hardware and the cleverness of the virtual machine software.
