I can only re-iterate Leon's appraisal of using Legacy on an iMAC. I've tried a number of programs - Wine, VMWare, Bootcamp, Parallels, etc., but I settled on Parallels 7 on my iMAC currently running Lion, added Windows 7 and loaded Legacy with no problems. I've run this combination for at least the last 4+ years with various versions of MAC OS , Windows OS (XP and now 7) and Parallels 6 and 7 versions. This setup seems to work about as flawlessly as I have encountered. It permits me to switch between MAC OS and Windows OS without many issues and Legacy work great in this environment.
