I have had my MBP now for about a little over a year and couldn't be happier. I love the switch. However....I was a long time user of a website called TotalVid. It has downloadable/streaming instructional video for all kinds of different things. Problem is you can only download the videos from a Windows based PC.
This is the ONLY reason I would ever want to attemp to run Windows on my Mac. Do I really need to get a crossover type program? Which would be the best one to just get me onto the site and be able to download videos again. I dont need to run any type of Windows based applications for programs. I hate the thought of having Windows on my computer due to the virus trouble I experienced with my PC. I love not having to deal with all that jazz with my mac....NO VIRUSES!!!
If I put a program like that on my mac and run windows or something like it, am I putting my self at risk for virus trouble again? Would it just be worth it to get a really cheap, (giveaway pretty much from my university) PC and have that as my "totalvid computer"?
