  2. Stephan Gustajtis from Toronto, writes: I would also like to point out that since Apple as gone to the Intel chip-set.. There are now software solutions to running windows within the Apple OS. Parallels is the one I use. I have recently made the switch to MAC from PC, and I can safely say I have never been happier. With Parallels, it allows me to run all of the windows software I need for work and it allows me to be ALOT more productive with the rest of my work. as I like to say it. "Mac's just work" I spend no time trying to get things to talk to each other, they just work. It is a much more secure operating system, that truly multi tasks. The only downside is the lack of Active X components for excel, that being said, I have solved with Parallels. Bravo!
