Responding to several different questions.
I have a couple MBP's (13, 15, and 17)... and also a MacPro... all with
XP, Vista, or Win 7 (multiple test platforms).
Each MBP and MacPro has Parallels and Team Viewer installed.
Parallels will let you run windows software on the Mac. Just about
All good input for a newbie to Mac.
Parallels has been slow as crap for me every time I open it, to the point
of being completely worthless to me. Anything special you've done to speed
it up? Maybe I just have bad luck?

Ah - so really, you are booting into Windows. I use OSX exclusively and
Parallels is just something I use very very occasionally. I already have my
RAM maxed out and I don't think I will ever want to boot directly to
Windows (so I don't have Boot Camp installed). Mainly I was curious about
I use a VM to be able to run SQL server express and have CF on the OSX
talk to it. It work really nicely and have had no issues with it.
When I am not doing dev on the system I need the SQL server on I just
shut down the vm which freezes it and then boots right back up to
the same state.

Yes I got Parrallels and find it better than running a separate instance of
windows through VM Ware etc. etc.
The windows programs are side by side with the MAC programs on my screen,
seamlessly. You don't realise that you are running two separate OSes.

VMWare, Parrellels and Virtual Box all have a seamless mode where
you can set up a windows application and it will just look like an
application in your dock or in the applications folder. But for SSMS
and SQL Server, I rarely do work on the windows side. I have all the
needed programs on the mac

Running Windows in a VM blows. It's not acceptable

A few things I'd say here. First, if it's n emergency, go ahead and buy it
but if it's not, you may want to wait a few more months. Rumor is that

new MacBooks may have a slimmer profile similar to the Air model. They may

Transferring data to your mac, and even back from it, should be fairly

I need a new machine more like yesterday than later. I live near

Just FYI, Best Buy may have good prices, but their support sucketh,
especially on Macs. Usually if you have a problem, the Geek Squad
will just tell you they have to send it to Apple to fix, and you have
to wait weeks to get it back. So don't let them talk you into the
Geek Squad service
I second Dana's comments on Best Buy and the Geek Squad. Avoid them - buy
Apple Care. IIRC, you have one year after buying the device of laptop to
buy AppleCare for it. I *think* this is true. Not 100% sure.
