[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 969324, member: 24098"] It's not emulation, so we're talking about near native speeds. Every processor intensive program I've ever used on my VMs has proven to be up to par with Windows running natively on the same hardware. The only time performance differences would be apparent is if you're using an app or game that requires 3D acceleration, which does require a bit of emulation. If you don't run games or do 3D modeling, you won't ever know the difference. Outlook is supposed to be included with the next Mac Office release (which I think is in 2012). Otherwise, you're stuck with Entourage if you need to keep within the whole Outlook paradigm. I know of no other app on the Mac that replicates the functionality of Outlook. The Blackberry can certainly sync with the combo of Mail/Address Book and iCal. And of course, Gmail integrates well with IMAP on Apple Mail. As I understand it, Blackberry has their own native client for the Mac that was just recently redone and is said to be very good. Alternatively, you could look at "The Missing Sync for Blackberry" which is usually well regarded. Of course the iPhone will integrate seamlessly with those apps as well. [/QUOTE]
