[QUOTE="MiniMax, post: 1546912, member: 314017"] [b]Os X or Windows or both?[/b] For me it is the other way round. I bought the Mac mini mainly for its hardware: small, relative silent, good build quality. And above else Windows compatibility. I have worked with Windows since MS-DOS times so to say. And even after a relative easy plunge into the OS X world I decided to go back where my roots are: Windows. I work with MS Office, OCR Software and some other stuff, where there is no real equivalent under OS X. I tried to run it both ways with Parallels 8 and VMware Fusion 6 even Virtualbox as I have virtual machines in this format from Windows PCs. I even contemplated to get rid of thew Mac partition and run Windows only. But for redundancy and as a fall back I will keep the OS X boot partitions and even will update to Mavericks even if this means the end for my Parallels-Windows (I hate their policy of basically selling a subscription programme with their frequent and expensive updates.)
