I have been running Windows on my Mac since Parallels was introduced with only one problem, ICOMS firmware update utility. Windows on a Mac is not an emulator So, can you run two different versions of Windows and Mac OS on your PC and switch between them with a click of a mouse? I had to do that when ULS required an earlier version of Windows. I use to chuckle at my colleagues who needed separate computers and to deal with updates drivers viruses etc. I only need one Mac in my ham station. I guess I could give up my Mac and buy several PCs Ray W8LYJ
