Pros: highly recommended I hate windows, but needed it for a specific program i use at work. My MacBook Pro runs windows better than any pc with Parallels. In "Coherence Mode" Windows programs look like Apple programs because they open on the MacBook desktop. I mostly use Apple software now, but I still have to use a couple windows programs for my job.

Cons: Once, my windows said that my copy wasn't a legal copy and I had to call an 800 number and enter many digits, then all was cool again.

Overall Review: For those still using pc's and windows laptops; make the switch to Apple. They look great, they run great, and they do everything and more than a windows-only computer. Highly stable and easy to learn. With Parallels, you won't miss anything except constant headaches.
