I'm enrolled in a Computer Application degree program through college.
Most of the courses have Office applications that run, including Word 2007, Excel 2007, Access 2003 or higher, MS Visio 2000 or higher, Office Project Standard 2007, as well as a few others (Photoshop, etc).
Since I have such distaste for PC's, and we already own 2 Mac's (iMac and MacBook - both Intel), I am considering a Mac mini for my college studies.
My question is this...would I be able to adequately run the above programs installed under XP or Vista on the mini using Bootcamp, or eventually Parallels if I find the need to switch back and forth between them?
I am looking at the lesser expensive mini, but with the 4GB RAM.
Thank you!
Andy
