[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1554981, member: 46727"] I have Parallels and Fusion and find neither one that resource intensive. However, both programs do require a bit of close management as to memory and graphics allocation. I usually recommend members try out the free [URL="https://www.virtualbox.org/"]VirtualBox[/URL] from Oracle first as that may be all they need. Office 2013: I don't have a copy but the reviews I have read state that it's a fancied up version of Office 2010 (which I do have) and not to bother with the update. You use the word "complete" when referring to Office 2013; complete in what way? Mac Office 2011 includes Word, PP, Excel, and Outlook. I guess you can buy the version of Office 2013 that also includes Access and Publisher (Business edition) but will be almost double the price. Anyway, it's up to you. I will agree that the Windows version of Office is more elegantly done than the Mac Office version. [/QUOTE]
