[QUOTE="Veej, post: 712669, member: 44734"] Thanks for the replies, I'd prefer XP but Vista's actually cheaper in a lot of shops! Amazon's not bad, at around £60 for XP so I might just have to go with that... And yeah, MS Word is actually one of the big reasons I need Windows - I've tried NeoOffice, iWork and office:mac2008.. they're all far off Word 07 for PC! It's not the only reason but I need Windows to run Windows-formatted CDs too that won't work with Mac OS X. As for VMWare, I'll look into it - I've got a MBP and I'm not sure if using VMWare/Parallels will slow it down quite a lot? And what about heat-issues? As it must use a lot of processor power, I'd have thought the MBP would be running hotter too? [/QUOTE]
