[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 342415, member: 8287"] You say your kid plays games on Disney and other places. I would check to see what is required to play those games. SOME sites have you download an .EXE to run to play the games. If that is the case, OSX will not run a Windows Executable. Sure you can run it in Parallels. DB is right though in the point that if your MAIN use of a computer requires Windows, why buy a Mac that costs a lot more than the typical Windows machine and run Windows on it with Bootcamp. If you just need some basic Windows for a few little things, then you can run Parallels and still be using OSX for your main work. The only Negative I can see for your kid is the Disney Channel, ETC games. Check to see what they require to run as some I have helped people with want a program running on the PC. Where I live in Central California some schools use Macs and others use PC's. [/QUOTE]
