[QUOTE="Olivier, post: 1093179, member: 167865"] Dear All, I am a Civil Engineer working on Special Bridges Design & Construction. I am actually working for a company but plan to start working as an independent consultant. I am personally fully equipped with Mac and I would like to keep this OS to work. I am looking for the most suitable cross-platform to use my windows design softwares on Mac and don’t quite understand which one works the best? BootCamp, VMware, Parrallel Desktop 5? Below is a list of the softwares I regularly use for my designs: - Autocad 2008 or 2010 - Microstran V8 - RDM6 (French freeware similar to Microstran) - Solidworks (2007 or 2009) - Isparc - Autodesk Inventor (2008 or 2011) My other concern is about the classic bugs & viruses from Windows. How does this work on a cross platform? Is there a risk of getting the viruses from Windows infecting the rest of the computer? Thanks for your advices; any answer / advice will be very helpful!
