    I think it depends on what Windows programs you want to run. I use it to run Office 2000. I don't use Office all that much at home, so it's not worth it to me to spend the money and computer resources on Windows. Luckily that version of Office is listed on their site as very compatible with Crossover.

    Have you checked their site to see if the programs you want to run do so well?

    And I'm using a MacBook, not an MBP, but I don't suppose that makes much difference.

    A lot of things don't really work well on Crossover. Some do, but most don't.
