    hi all

    i have to get a program running on a macbook pretty soon but it'll only run on a windows system. have downloaded parallels but not sure what now. i don't see any point in getting windows 7 but xp is hard enough to get.
    has anyone else got windows 7 on a mac? is it taking up a lot of space?

    I run windows 7 through virtualbox - it takes up 6 gigs ish i think.

    I've got 64x W7 on an iMac. Don't know how much space it takes up though.:o

    THIS may be of help regarding XP.

    When I was getting parallels I was recommended to get Windows XP but I saw Windows 7 for cheaper so I just got that, it runs perfectly on the Mac but I hardly use it cause all I need it for is AutoCAD.

    i had parallels and then I moved to the free virtual box. Have to say I prefer it.
