Thanks for that John - great help

>I've run Windows XP, Vista Ultimate, and currently Win 7 on a Macbook Pro using VMware. I've also used Parallels, but I currently feel that VMware is a little better.

>IMO, there is no better way to run Windows than on a Mac using VMware. Here's why...

>After setting up my Win 7 virtual machine, I installed everything - apps, anti-virus, VFP, data, etc. After it is 100% exactly the way I want it, I then make a backup of the virtual machine to an external hard drive. If I ever need to re-install Windows - I did recently due to a problem with Win 7 - all I need to do is make a current backup of my data and then copy my Win 7 backup back to my Mac. Update my data and I'm back to square one in about 1/25th the time it would normally take.

>It also allows me to run XP, Vista, and Win 7 (and Mac OSX) all on the same computer without violating anyone's license agreement.

>I've been doing this for more than 3 years and I won't ever go back to using another Windows PC. If you have specific questions, I'll try to answer for you.

>>>>>My applications run fine under Mac because it is always a Windows OS. And about legal aspect, you should have the Windows licence to run windows under a PC MAC so no problems at all with VFP.
>>>>>The point is, why your boss want to jump on MAC OS if he keeps on using Windows programs ?

>>>>>>I dont care about the legal aspect - i jusr need to know how to do it

>>>>>>>Looks like most people are more concerned about the legal aspect..!

>>>>>>>Reminds me of my old teacher. First he lectured us that it was important to always listen to what people really asked. Then he paused for a few seconds and asked whether anyone knew what time it was. Most of the students shouted out the correct time, and then he said "I wanted to know who knew the correct time, not what it actually was"!
