>>Our IT guy didnt like the idea. I don't even ask for an explanation from those guys. Makes my head hurt to listen.<< What that means is that he hasn't had experience with running Windows in virtual machine on a Mac. Too bad. I have a client who kept getting in trouble with viruses on his PC. The man had a tendency to download free screen savers and things like that. Basically, he was a malware developer's wet dream. He would click on any link in any email. Turned out the only thing he really needed Windows for was his payroll program. We got him a Mac and installed Windows in VMWare. Now he runs everything besides payroll on the Mac side, and he hasn't had a problem in a year and a half.
