[QUOTE="Mookiemoo, post: 527490, member: 39976"] I switches to a mac a couple of months ago ....... and I have no desire to switch back. BUT I am an IT consultant and have to hook my mac up to windows network via VPN. If I install parallells/VM ware this works - I can use the connect to my workplace wizard on the VM machine and i can access the servers etc etc But simple things like - Adobe reader wont install as it wont see the file it wants to see and aborts. And I have to have it on the windows machine as my mac wont see the printer or connect to the network - I can only see network drives on the paralells machine. This may be user incompetence and not knowing mac OS X properly. I only use the paralels machine for connection to exchange server for outlook, SAP gui and VPN, and access to network drives/printing on client network. But I have a window of 3-4 days before I give in and go boot camp as I cannot justify my billing rate in the current set up. Are these issues surmountable without buy in from clients tech support (who hates macs). [/QUOTE]
