thanks, I'll give that a try. I installed parallels and was considering running CFMX7 from that, using a shared folder as the web root. That way all I develop on the Mac side and with a key combination flip over to the Wind'ohs side to have a look at it. If I set up the networking bridge appropriately, then I can test the how it looks on a mac using the assigned IP address. As for Office etc., using coherence I can edit word docs etc in Windows, just by clicking on an alias on the Mac side.
