Hello Deb. i chose to use VM fusion. It costs about $100. The advantage is that I can run both Windows and the mac OS's at the same time. If I should lose a hard drive, I can simply restore the image from a backup and I'm good to go. Finally, I can store all of my data on the mac side and have a nice clean image. Mike Arigo has done 12 podcasts on Blind Cool Tech. I believe that Pod Cast 7 deals with VM fusion.

I read a ton of posts on this but it's like jumping into the middle of a conversation. So could someone help me by starting at the beginning. I just got a MacBook and I do need to run Windows on it for convenience and because some things I do just don't exist in the Mac world. I know it has BootCamp already on it and my co-worker (not using screen access) installed Windows and runs that on her Mac at will. But you're all talking about a lot of other ways to do this. What is the best way, what choices do I need to make, and what specifically do I need to get. Sorry if it's been covered. But after reading posts for an hour from the archives I don't know this yet. LOL. TIA.
