Thanks for the info.

Plan 1 is to load Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 on my Mac via boot camp.

Plan 2 is to buy a cheap refurbished Windows laptop.

What do the nerds think and why?

Thanks

I have been running Windows 7 on a MAC for years. I have used both Boot camp and Parallels. PM me if you need any info.

I tend to do my coursework on the road (while commuting, layovers, etc.) so carrying around 2 laptops didn't appeal to me.

I use Crossover on my mac, I like it better than parallels since you can still switch back and forth between mac and PC without closing anything down.
