[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 995567, member: 56379"] Yes that's a bit of a pain in the neck about "virtualization" products (Parallels or VMware) for the Mac (these days)...you have the cost of the virtualization software & the cost of Windows software if you don't already have a legal copy of Windows to install. Back in the mid-late 1990's there was a program called Virtual PC...which was a program very similar to Parallels & VMware in terms of being able to run Windows on a Mac. The very nice thing about Virtual PC is that you didn't need to purchase a copy of Windows separately...Windows was integrated into the software virtualization package. The bad part about Virtual PC was that it was slow running Windows (even when it was new)...but it was better than nothing!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
