Hi folks - Does anyone have experience using either ArcGIS, IDRISI, or
MapInfo on a Mac under Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMfusion? I'm wondering if
there's any issues I should be aware of before I try it, or if they run just
as they would on a dedicated Windows machine. Thanks...

A colleague recently tried ArcGIS under Parallels, it turned out it is
way too slow to consider it for serious work.

I'm at the NACIS conference and have seen at least one person run ArcGIS under
Parallels without difficulty. Someone I spoke with said there's about a 10%
performance hit, which is to be expected.
