[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1636052"] Given you want EASY, I recommend Parallels (or VMWare). You install Parallels desktop, then follow their directions to add Windows inside that system (you have to buy that, too). Then to start Windows, from your OS X desktop you start Parallels desktop, then click on the Windows icon and it boots inside a window as a virtual computer. On my system I have Win 7 in a virtual computer and when it boots it looks and feels exactly like a real Windows computer. I don't have Roku, but TV, and I can then stream from the desktop to the TV, go full screen on Windows and what I see/hear in windows shows on my TV. If you have a streamer from your Mac to the Roku, the same thing should work. When I'm done with Windows, I just shut down the virtual Windows, exactly like I would if it were a real machine, then quit Parallels Desktop and I'm back to pure OS X. [/QUOTE]
