I am seriously considering switching from my IBM ThinkPad of 4 years (this hurts... I love this machine) to one of the new Intel Based Mac Book Pro's... I am going to run Parallels so I can still use Windows 2000 since I have a BlackBerry and those don’t Sync with Macs.
Has anyone out there done this? Did you have any problems? The only apps I run are word, outlook and excel. My databases are in filemaker and I use all adobe apps for publishing/video/photo. I would transition all that to the mac side.
How does the unit work when both platforms are running at the same time?
Also wondering if anyone has use the new Verizon Aircard on the mac and on the pc side... Did it work ok?

Checkout the website below. I think you should use the platform you like the most. Make sure you have lots of RAM on the Mac and enough hard diskspace to run both operating systems.
It sounds like you are off to a good start. Look at each piece of software and hardware you use and make sure you know if it will work.
