Hi,
Mac newbie here. I have some Windows only software which I plan to use on my Mac. I guess my choices are either using an emulator or a virtual machine.
Is there any difference in the performance or functionality between the two? Will any windows software run normally using an emulator or are they software specific? Are some emulators better than others? Do emulators slow down or inhibit the software in any way?
I'm running Snow Leopard on a unibody Macbook Pro i7.
For what it's worth the software I was planning on using is Solidworks 2010, Mastercam X3, Metastock 10, Premium Data and possibly a few others at a later point in time.
Thanks
