I'm a mac guy, but think you obviously need a high end Windows
machine. That said, if you're going to spend the money, you might
consider a Macbook Pro and dual booting. Or even running a virtual
machine. I have Sun's free Virtualbox and Windows 7 running very
nicely on my white Macbook.
I run Windows XP in Fusion for garden variety apps like Excel
( there are VB add ons to Excel that are not available in the Mac
version of the program ) and for apps that can't abide the network
translation I run Windows XP directly in with Bootcamp. The point
is that none of the
I second what Betty said, with the addition that if you did get a
mac, then the Boot Camp partition can be used to run windows
both natively and in a virtual machine, and Apple's drivers lets
you keep much of the functionality of the extremely cool multi-touch
trackpad in Windows. I've been told

I'm considering buying a laptop. All my programs for my desktop are for
PC, and these I will most likely use on a laptop.
My question is: is it better to buy a PC to run PC programs, or a Mac to
run PC programs?
Please don't tell me that I can get as good as or better results using

I take it that you are voting for my buying a PC laptop.
Why, you ask? Many reasons, here's a few why.
The reason for considering buying a Mac is the high regard that members
of this listserv hold for the Mac. It seems that the OS is claimed here
to be superior to that of a PC, as well as
No, I wasn't. I own both Macs and PCs, but only Mac laptops.
The OS I've found if far superior on the Mac. The OS never seems to
crash, only the machine crashes. Meaning it's not an OS problem. It's
only happened a couple of times. Lately with my logic board going out
after 4+

If your core need is to run specialty Windows software then don't

There's no way I would recommend getting a Mac and trying to run
Windows on it. It can be done, and many of the Mac users on this list
do it all the time, but that's not really relevant to you.
Your biggest decision will be what size screen to get. Best Buy has a
good $400+tax deal on a 15.4
Thus, my question: can a Mac run PC programs well enough to make a
Mac laptop a desirable choice, or is there no reason to prefer a Mac
laptop over a PC laptop?
Please note that I am not a PC or Mac partisan. I've never owned a
laptop nor a Mac, so I have no opinion at all about the
