[QUOTE="leemsutton, post: 1179995, member: 190989"] Hi, I'm new so be gentle please... Think this is in the right place. So I've ordered my new imac to the spec below: 27inch 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB 1TB Serial ATA Drive ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM 8x double-layer SuperDrive Also ordered Parallels Desktop 6 swith to Mac because I have 3 pieces of specialist software that only run on Windows. My question is though, which version of Windows should I buy to run on Parallels. The machine the imac is replacing runs XP which to be fair has been ok. Both Vista and 7 have skipped me by. Ideally my old XP machine will be stripped down to run some business accounts software so it would be ideal if that machine could then talk to the Windows on the Mac as well, but its not essential. Any pointers please. [/QUOTE]
