I am running TCS in VMWare Fusion on a 2.8 GHz Mac. It works great. Rock solid. Crashes less than most pure Windows machines I've used. In fact, I don't think Windows has ever crashed. Frame has a few times, but the patches fixed that.
You can try most of this before making a commitment. You can download a 30-day trial of Fusion and obtain a 30-day trial of TCS (DVD). You do have to buy a Windows XP license. I just bought one at Fry's. The process to create a VM and load Windows is pretty simple. I work on-site at my client's. I bring in my laptop, hook up to the client's network. It was a bit of a hassle configuring printers, but other than that I haven't had any problems. I connect to shared drives, point my Mac Mail client at their Exchange server. I don't have great calendaring ability, but I don't want to buy Office for Windows, and I don't want to mess with Entourage.
