[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1231749, member: 46727"] I think you will be better off installing Windows 7 on your new MBP by using Boot Camp. Then, you would be able to run AutoCAD for Windows, MS Office 2010 for Windows, and MathCAD 14. It's true there is an AutoCAD for OS X and of course MS Office, however, according to system requirements, MathCAD 14 and 15 are Windows only. Dual booting to Windows 7 will give you the most memory and graphic power that is needed for AutoCAD and MathCAD. I honestly do not know if you could run AutoCAD or MathCAD well enough in a VM. And I'm sure you won't be able to do it with WINE. [/QUOTE]
