- 27" iMac i7
Hello All!
I'm both new to this site and new to Apple Mac.
Infact, I dont actually own one at present but aim to purchase a iMac in the next week or so.
I wonder if you Mac users can help me out with some questions before I write out my cheque so I can be up and running without any hassel.
I am migrating from Microsoft Win 7. and because of all my current software propose to load Fusion to run Dreamweaver and my Cad software along with a few others through a virtual window. I also have a LG Nas unit which is fitted with a Blu-ray writer, which I write with data files (I'm not interested in video).
My questions are:
a: Is there any way a virus or malware infection through Windows will affect my Mac operating system?
b: Will the IWork software open Word 2007 files (docx)
c: Will the iMac write to my LG Nas Blu-ray unit as a dvd or better still Blu-ray.
I welcome any comments.

p.s. I had thought of purchasing a i7 machine, but wonder if I should go for a i5 and increase the memory to 8Gb instead to cope with the virtual window?
