Penny wise and pound foolish... As a Mac diehard, I resisted buying a Windows machine for a very long time. And then I bought a machine cobbled together by a neighbor, a self-described computer expert. Bad idea. I have serious intermittent problems creating PDFs from within FrameMaker.

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.
