VMWare Fusion for MacOS.
If you're on Windows there are many, many versions available. I use
player for my students who just need to access a VM, its free. All of
my VM are built on VMWare's server product(s).

Dean, which VMWare product are you speaking of here for ~$70?

That's a good question—of course. And in the interest of "full
disclosure"…I have "decided" to Go MAC but have not as of yet
consummated the marriage. A stronger desire to upgrade my
photography equipment to Canon EOS (pro digital) prevailed so I'll
be putting off the iMAC purchase off until late January. But never-
the-less, minor delay or not, I do absolutely intend to move to
MAC. I will keep my Windows equipment so I can cross-check,
browser-check, etc.
The big dilemma that I don't have a clear answer on though is
similar to your question of SQL, is all the "other software" I'm
going to have to re-purchase. I did get a great recommendation for
NeoOffice ( http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/features.php). This
will at least cover the Microsoft Office Suite stuff. And CF
Eclipse is also available for MAC.
Whatever you do best wishes. I try to always follow Yogi Bera's
sage advise: When I come to a fork in the road… …I take it.

Just curious if you are able to run SQL and/or Oracle on a Mac?

I had the very same "before the year end" dilemma but had after 22
years with Microsoft have decided to GO MAC—cause it just works.
Period.
Best of luck, and I do agree with Dean's comment "don't downgrade
to Vista"—unless you're into horror stories.

Hope everyone had a very merry xmas and wishes for a happy new year.
I am going to buy a new notebook before Dec. 31 or at least try to
get the order in before year end in order to spend the money before
the 2007 tax year ends (for a write off). I was debating with
myself as to what OS to get (XP or Vista). I currently use XP Pro.
These are my questions if anyone has any feedback or wants to
discuss:
1. Should I stay with XP Pro instead of moving to Vista?
2. Are there issues with using Adobe products like CF, DW, or other
tools with Vista.
3. If I move to Vista is there a particular version I need to do CF
work (home, pro, etc.)
4. If I stay with XP, do I really need the Pro version to do CF work?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Dusty
