[QUOTE="wirelessmacuser, post: 969353, member: 136479"] When you said it's not emulation, that really brought it home for me. That was something that I had used many years ago on a PowerBook and just slowed it to a crawl. I've had lots of PowerBooks in the past as personal machines and now that the MBP can run windows, it's really the reason I just bought one. Also I had to wait until Apple finally gave us back an option for the matte display as the glossy just didn't work for me. [U]Sounds like a good solution for me would be Parallels Desktop 5 , would you agree? [/U] Then I can setup my Windows XP Pro, with my entire MS Office suite on it, and go from there. I don't run games or do 3G modeling rendering etc. Any drawbacks, or warnings you have? Any install tips, like how much memory to allocate, etc? Yes I think this part of the project will be pretty easy. Your help is greatly appreciated as I'm ready to get this baby up and running, (I haven't even unboxed it yet it's just a day old). [/QUOTE]
