    I have some stuff that I need that will not run under any emulation. It is really stupid on the software maker's part, but they are so adamant about not supporting emulation(Apple's parallel or Wine) that they will not even answer emails on it. I tried to get Crysis to run under Wine as well with no luck, so i just dual boot and called it a day.

    Dual booting solves a lot of problems. If one OS doesn't work, just use the other. lol

    I lol @ software programmers because they won't support emulation because it can create more problems for them, but they still want everyone to purchase the software and use it.
