    Is anyone here running bootcamp in order to run a few windows only apps? I'd like to hear from those who are. I'm highly considering going this route. Thanks in advance.

    only use it to run games, unless medieval II total war has a mac version XD.
    if it's something not graphic intensive, you can just use parallel.

    Yeah, use Parallels for all applications in Windows that does not need 3D support. Saves you rebooting twice.

    I use Bootcamp with Microsoft Office WORD application. Works fine and my HP printer works. I play Tomb Raider Legends 1400x900 high quality but no anti aliazing. I connect my A900 Sprint phone via USB and use it as a modem; I surf the net and really have not found any problems with Boot Camp so far; my Windows laptop is hidden away in my closet; I don't need it anymore.

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm only going to need Windows for games and some business apps.
