[QUOTE="MactotheMax, post: 79652, member: 8646"] Wow, I just love when folks make such blanket comments. For the original poster, it really depends on what apps youre going to run on VPC. For instance, I purchased an iBook a week and 1/2 ago. I bought VPC since there is no Mac equivalent to the Bible software that I use. I also play online chess and find the Mac programs that allow you to do this to 'look' just horrid. So I use VPC 7 (Windows 2000 version) on my iBook and it runs flawlessly for these two applications. I do find it a bit slow on start up but once its started it runs just peachy. (Note: It doesnt start up any slower than a normal PC starting up or coming from sleep mode) I will agree, that if you can find an OS X native app (that will do the same things your windows app does), it will of course be better. But thats not always the case. My2Cents [/QUOTE]
