[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1215779, member: 46727"] A good solution to running those programs you mention above would be to run them from a virtual machine. Setting up VM software is very easy (mostly automated). You would need a copy of Windows of course and the VM software. Both Fusion and Parallels offer trial versions you can download and try out. (I use and prefer Fusion) There's also a free version called [URL="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads"]VirtualBox[/URL] which can be downloaded from Oracle. As long as you don't intend to run graphic intensive programs (3D acceleration), running Windows from a virtual machine works very well. There's no rebooting required, and no separate requirement for Windows backup software. The VM gets backed up along with everything else when using Time Machine. [/QUOTE]
