There you go then! Macs use Intel processors just the same as Windows-specific PC's, so can easily run Windows as well - or, like I prefer, in parallel. Like all things, performance depends on how much memory you buy it with. I run Maxim on my MacBook Air alongside PHD under Windows 7 hosted by OSX. Works a treat. OSX handles all peripheral device calls on behalf of the guest operating system beautifully - it's completely seamless and stable as hell. Trevor Gerdes here on IIS is the guy to talk to - he works for VMware. Just buy it off the app store - it's only fifty bucks!
