When I am not doing dev on the system I need the SQL server on I just

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
running
hing.
Increasing either of these (as with Windows) will probably help.

Running Windows in a VM blows. It's not acceptable at all (to me).

Yeah it's only the mighty mouse that doesn't have a right click, that mouse
sucks anyway.
I'm currently using this Logitech with
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 ma

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.
The only thing Parallels doesn't handle we

Can you really do everything you need on the Macbook? And how often do you
miss right-click for the context menu? (for the right handers of course)

Just FYI, Best Buy may have good prices, but their support sucketh,

Transferring data to your mac, and even back from it, should be fairly
painless. One annoyance we had was with Excel
nice machine. first thing upgrade it to 8 gig. I just did that with my
new MacBookPro, I bought an 8 gig kit from Tiger Direct for about $50,
much cheaper than the Apple price of $200. You may fine this exchange
from last November useful. I just got a Macbook from work:

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
Apple may be renewing the MacBook Pro line later this summer/fall and the
new MacBooks may have a slimmer profile similar to the Air model. They may
