[QUOTE="Neo, post: 589431, member: 36256"] BootCamp Windows is not a good option. Virtual desktop software solutions (Fusion or Parallels) are much preferable. Search this forum for legion posts on why this is so. That being said, you haven't presented any compelling reasons why you need to run Windows. If you must use Office (doubtful), there's a Mac Office 2008. Or any number of open-source office suites. Yes, they're compatible with the Windows version of Office. As to #2, [B]on this forum, we don't take kindly to illegal activities, even "hypothetical" ones[/B]. It's not possible anyway, with Windows rights protections; and Windows comes with single licenses. You'll need to pony up the cash for two copies of Windows (if you even need to install them, which I doubt) and do it right. [/QUOTE]
