If you really need Windows, Parallels works very well.

Also good are cloud services for browser testing, using Windows VMs, etc...

But really, this is only a problem for consultants.  Google banned Windows a long time ago internally and they're doing just fine.

I guess we'll have to make do with RDP(again) which begs the question, can techies and other power users go about their day to day without using windows, and if so, does it mean the apple environment is best for consumers and artists? is a macbook pro + windows 7 the best of both worlds?

You can use BootCamp to install Windows on a Mac, or just use VMware or Parallels to install a virtual Windows on the OS X.


But Apple fans don't get stuck monitoring CCTVs. They are busy living the lifestyle.

What are the apple die hards on the list doing to access sites that require active x which is very common with CCTV web interfaces. That is besides using a windows machine.
