[QUOTE="technologist, post: 37930, member: 4134"] [URL=http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc]VirtualPC[/URL] allows you to run [i]most[/i] Windows applications on your Mac. However, some applications will run slowly; For example, if you're an engineering major, and you need to run AutoCad or Pro/E or something, it may run so slowly that you'd be better off just getting a PC. :( Others (those which depend on direct access to the hardware) may not run at all. Do you know which programs you'll need to run? Sometimes you can run an equivalent Mac program and fake it. ;) [/QUOTE]
