Hi John,
Getting caught up on a HUGE backlog of list messages during some
flights today - sorry for the delayed response! Don't overlook your
options with VMs. I too need Visio and stuff like that (although I
must say that OpenOffice does just fine for documents, spreadsheets,
and the like). In recent months I have gone through a major battle
with a new Sony laptop and Vista (always a battle with Vista, it
seems). In disgust, I have tossed that brand new Sony aside and taken
the full OS X plunge with the introduction of the new 17" MacBook
Pro. For Visio and so forth I have built a Vista VM using VMWare
Fusion. VMWare Player allows you to do likewise with Windows and
Linux (either can be the host or the guest OS). While this takes some
doing and some extra effort, so far it has been, well, liberating.
Anyway, this isn't meant to be a plug for or a dig against any
hardware or OS. Just wanted to remind you of your options to run VMs...
Regards,
Scott
