Hi David,

  I got Parallels  when I bought my Macbook Pro back in 2006 but the 
latest Mac OS upgrade means it now longer works! and I'm not buying 
another copy! I bought a 27"  iMac desktop this year.  It's quite 
stunning and I've seen nothing else that comes near it for both 
performance and good looks. I wouldn't want to pollute itsd screen with 
a Windows desktop :-)

  Anyway, to me it seems sacrilege to impose a Windows OS on a Mac and 
rather defeats the purpose of moving to Mac in the first place.

  Wintest runs fine on my three old Win XP laptops but the Mac excels 
for my photo and video work and reads  all MS Office stuff, etc, with no 
problems.

  "Chacun à son goût" as they say across the Channel :-)
