[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1230065, member: 46727"] Yes, it can get fairly expensive since you would have to purchase Parallels (around $60) and Windows 7 (around $99 at NewEgg or Amazon) and Office 2010 (around $150). The reason folks use Boot Camp is to get the full 3D graphics effect that is needed for certain games and flight simulators. Using virtual software does not provide that. However, the upside of using Boot Camp is that it's free and is already on your Mac. All you would need is to buy Windows 7 and Office 2010. If you can "limp" along with Office 2011 or 2008 on your Mac, it would certainly save you a bundle of money. There is no question that I personally prefer Office 2010 over 2011, however, not everyone agrees with me. :) [/QUOTE]
