And with that contentious title... but while avoiding the whole mine is bigger than yours thing...
I was wondering whether those mac users out there have much experience of windows emulation. I am thinking about buying a mac (due to sudden hardware implosion and a need to replace it)- Im looking at all the option available, one of which is mac. The problem is that I can't leave windows behind completely - I have at least three applications that I MUST be able to run without any loss in functionality. Is that something a mac can offer with emulation? One of the applications is Macromedia Director (which I know has an apple native version but I'm not about to go rebuying it and I need to author for the pc platform. Another app is one which relies on Microsoft Dotnet tech to work. Does anybody have any idea about that sort of thing? If the mac can't handle these things, and there's no reason why it should -Linux can't, then it really would discount that platform for me.
Cheers Mike
