• Im coming into this a little late but... At work we run Mac minis and have a windows virtual machine running with Microstation CAD software, its fast and has no issues with running photoshop on the Mac at the same time. The VM also makes sharing files a non-problem, as anything saved in either OS is instantly accessible in the other.

    Personally I dont get on with windows so I much prefer to do everything in Mac except the CAD which is windows only. That way I just have it set as full screen on a separate desktop for flicking into and out of. Its an efficient way to work.

  • Thanks. Yeah, that's not a bad way of doing it. Just running a separate screen.

    Maybe I'll give VM a go and see if it runs okay. My mac should be fast enough really.

  • We still have one of the old style minis (8/9 years old i think) running this set up and it holds its own more or less. It just has the occasional mard when you ask it to do too much.
