    I found out today well from one of the apple sellers that the new new mac pro can allow windows to be install into it as well!

    So you can have apple and window OS systems on one computer!! You need to download a beta from apple site called bootcamp. It's bizarre coz it will b fantastic to have this flexibility! But it's confusing coz are you still able to play software such Autodesk products in windows coz im worried it has limited capabilities. Or it just functions like a normal windows!?

    The only reason i wanted to stay away from apples coz i use autocad and autodesk software regularly and they are unable 2 install to apple OS computers.

    I'm just wondering if there are any apple mac pro users out there have installed bootcamp and how their laptops are going? Does any1 out there actually use the programs im using and their laptops have functioned the same?

    Interesting to know as well that ASUS makes apple and sony laptops. Apple and Sony only designs them.

    Thanks heaps!

    Cheers,
    Eva :)
