[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1251976, member: 197651"] I went with the Bootcamp route for Windows 7 (it was the final factor in my purchasing my MBP) for the software I had for Windows and did not want to buy for Mac. In fact, some of it there is no Mac version anyway (Sony Vegas Pro and others.) Since rendering video is something I do a lot of, it was necessary for me to be able to get going as fast as possible and Bootcamp let me do that without slowing down the machine. I love it. I use OSX for 70-80% of my computing on my MBP. I only use Win7 for CS3 (lost install disks as I have the full suite copied to a network drive), Sony Vegas and Rifts. I won't get into my iTunes experience, but most of the issue was my cat's fault. I literally had a "cat"astrophic drive failure. Will I always buy a Mac from this point on? I have no idea, but for now, as long as I can Bootcamp, I will have a Mac. Besides, I have at least 3 years to go before I look at getting a new computer. I just got my MBP. [/QUOTE]
