[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1005759"] Yes. Not really. 64-bit computing is here, but its going to be a few years yet before most software really leverages that, and when that happens you'll starting seeing stuff that needs a MINIMUM of 8GB of RAM. That's when most of us will *really* see the power of 64-bit. Jakerich's suggestion is an interesting one that bears consideration, but normally I'd say yes, you need to take the same precautions on the Windows "side" as you would on a normal Windows PC. Macs do NOT require any antivirus OR software firewalls. Thousands of their customers have been screaming for it for over a decade now (my cousin works there), but apparently it hasn't been enough to persuade them. Personally I think they're being foolish, but if you're a very PC-centric company with PC users and the resulting PC mentality, I admit its kinda hard to create a product that Mac users will actually love until the company really "sees the light" and decides to make a genuine Mac program instead of a "port" effort. I know this from hard experience. :) [/QUOTE]
