[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 531036, member: 21101"] The most telling part of your post is in regard to VST plugins. If you want to use your machine for music production, and have to use Windows, then you should absolutely use BootCamp, not a virtual machine of any kind, particularly if you're doing anything semi-professional or better. As you're probably well aware, latency is a big issue on any hardware not dedicated to music making, and a virtual machine will make this a lot worse. I am sure sometime down the road you'll explore the Mac offering around music production, but so long as you're tied to Windows, use bootcamp for this. I use Parallels for light Windows work, and love it. VM fusion has some advantages, especially around DX graphics, but I think Parallels is a slightly more mature product. [/QUOTE]
