I always hesitate before moving to a new OS like that, hence my
extensive use of VMWare at both work and home. I'm in love with
virtualization because it makes it difficult to really screw something
up when you can always revert back to a known stable state.

I guess since I have never been a Mac owner, I just a little scared
to make the commitment to entirely move to a Mac. So the answer to
that question would be "FEAR" LOL ...

Why buy 2 when you can have 1 and do both? Spend the extra cash on
a MacBook Pro with large HD and RAM. You already have a Windows
license... VMWare is ~$70.

That’s a good question—of course. And in the interest of “full
disclosure”…I have “decided” to Go MAC but have not as of yet
consummated the marriage. A stronger desire to upgrade my
photography equipment to Canon EOS (pro digital) prevailed so I’ll
be putting off the iMAC purchase off until late January. But never-
the-less, minor delay or not, I do absolutely intend to move to
MAC. I will keep my Windows equipment so I can cross-check,
browser-check, etc.
The big dilemma that I don’t have a clear answer on though is
similar to your question of SQL, is all the “other software” I’m
going to have to re-purchase. I did get a great recommendation for
NeoOffice (http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/features.php). This
will at least cover the Microsoft Office Suite stuff. And CF
Eclipse is also available for MAC.
Whatever you do best wishes. I try to always follow Yogi Bera’s
sage advise: When I come to a fork in the road… …I take it.

Just curious if you are able to run SQL and/or Oracle on a Mac?

I had the very same “before the year end” dilemma but had after 22
years with Microsoft have decided to GO MAC—cause it just works.
Period.
Best of luck, and I do agree with Dean’s comment “don’t downgrade
to Vista”—unless you’re into horror stories.

Hope everyone had a very merry xmas and wishes for a happy new year.
I am going to buy a new notebook before Dec. 31 or at least try to
get the order in before year end in order to spend the money before
the 2007 tax year ends (for a write off). I was debating with
myself as to what OS to get (XP or Vista). I currently use XP Pro.
These are my questions if anyone has any feedback or wants to
discuss:
1. Should I stay with XP Pro instead of moving to Vista?
2. Are there issues with using Adobe products like CF, DW, or other
tools with Vista.
3. If I move to Vista is there a particular version I need to do CF
work (home, pro, etc.)
4. If I stay with XP, do I really need the Pro version to do CF work?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Dusty
