[QUOTE="verbatim210, post: 464929, member: 36051"] I have a few assignments coming up for school and I need to use these programs: -Microsoft Access -Microsoft Excel -Quincy.exe (C programming text editor and compiler) -And maybe more that i've forgotten... I've installed VMware Fusion and successfully installed Windows XP (virtual). At the moment i'm also considering Parallels and Boot Camp. I've also considered installing Mac equivalent software to do the job, like Open Office. I'm just worried using substitute programs for my school work may lead me to complicated problems. Example: Teach will say: "open this do this and run this". I will say: "Oh how do I do that on a Mac it's not the same". Might leave a lot of open room for confusion... The only problem I have with these virtual machines is I dont want to expend 50% of my computer resources emulating an OS just so I can run a couple of programs I need. Any recommendations? [/QUOTE]
