Hi guys.
Im enrollling into engineering school this april. I have decided to buy a new macbook white unibody (late 2009) although my school does not recommend it Im a pc user switching to mac Thankfully, there's boot camp
So the school will install the following softwares:
Microsoft Office Professional 2007
Expression Web 2
Microsoft Project 2007
Microsoft Visio 2007
Respondus Lockdown Browser
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with MSDN
Microsoft SMS Client
McAfee AntiVirus
And of course the specific engineering softwares:
Autodesk Autocad 2010
CATIA
Graphmatica
Mathcad
Im gonna install all these softwares on windows via bootcamp. The thing is, my hard drive is 250 GB. Im thinking of partitioning 50GB for Windows XP. Do you guys think 50GB is enough to last me for my 3 years in engineering school? Or do you think 80-100GB is more realistic? Im only using windows if my lessons on a certain day requires me to use the engineering softwares or the other softwares which is not on my OS X. Everything else will be on OS X including doing Office documents.
Thanks for any advice/opinions
