Hey, that's why even though I am still stuck in version 2.1.2 or some such (no time to learn about features of newer versions), I renew my license every year and why I jumped at the chance to renew now and get this package! Merry Christmas, all!! On Dec 13, 2007, at 12:19 PM, Bill

Bill I'm assuming that all the included software would be cross-platform (at least Mac and Windows, right)? So a person who is eligible for an early update on Enterprise (at $499) could order the early Enterprise update + the Studio Bundle--new Studio license ($399) and end up with the

OK, I signed too. I rarely use my mini, preferring the MacBook Pro, but I still like having it. I thought about adding support for 30 inch Apple cinema display to the wish list (the mini currently drives a 20 inch cinema display but having it run the 30 incher would be fantastic!).

Mark If you're going to fork over $$ to get Windows, why run it in Parallels. Why not just use Boot Camp? My thinking is that I'd like to have a full Windows install identical (except for Mac drivers) to what my customers will be using, rather than testing in a virtualized environment.

Joe is completely correct. You still have to buy Windows to install using Boot Camp. Sorry if my post suggested that Boot Camp was a way to avoid having to buy WinXP (or Vista). Quite the opposite--neither Boot Camp nor Parallels include a Windows install disk, so both will require
