Dear Crystallographers,
once again I am filled with graditude to this list--there were many
helpful responses and even some geek humor. I have decided to go with
a dual-boot windows7/linux, which seems easy enough. All the best, and
thanks everyone for your quick and helpful advice.

A dual boot laptop is all you need. I always reinstall the windows to get
rid of bloatware anyway. If you are going to buy a mac, you can also try the
triple boot, but I don't think anybody is doing it. Although it is very
convenient, a virtual machine will affect the performance of the software.
Erm, somewhat confused — if you are going to buy a Mac — why would you need (or
want!) a triple boot system? It all seems to work just fine on OS X.
Tony.

There are some windows only software, for example 3ds Max. But you have a
point, you probably don't need linux system in this case.

Personally, I like having the GUI front end for
training and education, especially for undergraduates. It has made
protein XRD much more accessible as a tool for many labs that
would otherwise find the barrier for entry very high. In the "old

The CCP4 suite runs very well in a virtual machine (e.g. VirtualBox) in
Windows. You can share folders between VBox and Windows so you can run
graphically intensive apps like Coot and Pymol natively under Windows but
still use data from your Linux VM.

The current SHELX binaries (including the beta-test multi-CPU SHELXD) all
appear to run fine under Windows 7. There is no need to use a virtual box etc.

It is simply a result of the 'zero dependency' philosophy. In other words, the
exact opposite of current trends in crystallographic computing (e.g.
Phenix/CCTBX).
