[QUOTE="jonniespain, post: 889739, member: 116021"] I am a graphic designer who uses PC for website design and Mac for graphic design - currently I am running two desktops and regularly switch between the two as work demands. I need access and use all the usual Office 2007 apps - Powerpoint, Word, Excell e.t.c as well as the full range of Adobe products- Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Premier, Photoshop and sometimes Microsoft Visual Studio express. I am thinking of making my life simpler (or more complicated) and upgrading to the Mac Book Pro 17" screen for on the road work with a wide screen for in office work. I have heard the Mac Book Pro runs Windows XP and the associated apps with out any problems.... Am I asking too much of the Mac Book Pro and opening up a can of worms by deciding to ditch the two desktops in subsitute for the Mac Book Pro? Bear in mind often I have 6 different apps open on each platform.... Thoughts from experienced users welcome. Thank you, J. [/QUOTE]
