If you have to run windoze on a Mac, use VMware Fusion. It works perfectly. I even use it to datalog with SCT. Haven't had a single freeze yet and no pita window switching like bootcamp or parallels.

The point is, even windoze runs better on a Mac.

I had techs working on it from my job. they are tech for one of the biggest companies in the world and work on alot of computer each day. just some proprietary programs that i use at work will not run on a mac. they tried about 3-4 different ways that are suppose to run ALL windows programs but it didint work.
