I use Boot Camp, which is a free download, and, I understand, will be included in the fall OS X upgrade. It has worked without problem on my iMac. You have to start the computer in either Windows mode or Mac mode, so there is no switching between the programs without a reboot, but for my purposes that isn't a problem.
Parallels (and another program whose name I don't recall) work within the OS X operating system, so you can switch easily between Windows and Mac applications. These programs are not free, but, I think, are each under $100. Steve On Jul 19, 2007, at 10:51 AM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer wrote: > I recently purchased a new macbook pro.
