Hi All!
I'm heavily leaning toward purchasing all Macs for my company early next year, and anticipate a smooth transition for everybody. However, my role involves a great deal of programming - web programming as well as Windows application programming.
Generally I live and die in Visual Studio and use it, coupled with SQL Server, IIS, and the Adobe CS line, to design and develop my programs and websites.
I know Adobe CS works fine natively in OSX - but I'm wondering about the other tools. I understand Parallels provides decent virtualization, but I figured I'd get the inside scoop from folks involved in the same kinds of work as I am.
Can Parallels handle my development needs? Should I use Boot Camp? Are there tools that run natively in OSX that I should consider?
Any and all advice, ideas, suggestions, or booklists would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
