Dusty:
The software will NOT install on both. You can run it all under
Windows through VMWare, but it sounds like what you will end up doing
is running everything on the PC and nothing on the mac.
I develop on a mac. I use BBEdit (text editor) for code, safari/
firefox for browser testing, and either 1) upload CFM files to stage
server (mimic of production server) or 2) Run locally under CF or
Blue Dragon.
So, where is the need for the PC? (BTW - that's not flame bait,
that's just my approach).

OK this is probably a good question for Dean!
I am now highly considering getting a mac to further develop the
creative aspects of what I do. I understand that some developers
have moved to Mac and use the VMWare to run windows applications.
My questions are:
If developing on a Mac would I install things like Photoshop and
Illustrator on the Mac OS or would I be doing it through the VMWare
on Windows. I currently have the Adobe CS2 Web Bundle suite running
on my pc under Win XP so I am not even sure yet that the software I
have will run on the Mac OS (I have to check on that).
I plan to upgrade to the full Adobe Master Collection with all the
great new CS3 tools so I wonder if I have to order it for Mac or
Windows or if the software package will install on either. I am
hoping either :-) ... I am researching now but would appreciate any
quick answers if any one has time.
Thanks,
Dusty
