[QUOTE="eddyq, post: 1167743, member: 114710"] If you like using OSX then use a virtual machine. I use VmWare Fusion. I use that for Linux and NetBSD too. If you want to run stand alone Windows then don't worry ... Windows runs better on a MAC than it does in a PC. Vulnerability to viruses is about the same on both systems, except hackers like to infect Windows more since Windows is more popular ... so use the free version of Avast on Windows (even if you are running in a virtual system). The only problem I know of running BootCamp on a MAC is that Acronis backup will not work (an Acronis bug, not a MAC problem) ... for backups use Paragon for that. [/QUOTE]
