[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1215595"] It sounds like you'll be doing a lot of video editing, so I'll join with the recommendation to use Boot Camp to set up a separate Windows partition. Yes, rebooting to go back and forth between the OSes will be a little bit of a pain, but it doesn't take long and will give you extra performance. On a side note, your license for CS4 should easily transfer to the Mac, just a quick phone call to Adobe should be all it takes (there might be a fee involved to ship you new disks, however). Of course Vegas won't transfer which is why you want to install Windows in the first place, but I predict over time you'll see the light of the excellent range of Mac video editing programs ... Not sure how to answer this: there's the "pain" of unlearning (letting go of) some of the bad Windows practices and paranoias, and the usual short period of confusion you would have with any new operating system, but beyond that, I don't think so. You might be quite surprised to see how well Windows can operate on a Mac! Users/(your user name)/Music/iTunes [/QUOTE]
