    Default Going to Mac from Windows... a question

    It's taken me several months to decide, but I am finally done with my decision making and will be purchasing a Mac Mini as well as a MacBook Air shortly. I plan on purchaing CS5 to run on both machines, but as mentioned in a thread back in November, I've been a long-time user of Breeze Browser Pro, and really do not want to change to something else, but it's a Windows only software. If I install Parallels or similar Windows emulation software, will I have any issues doing my file conversions in BBP, and editing the tiff files in CS5 on the mac. Somehow I don't think so but need reassurance from those who would know for sure...

    I look forward to your responses... Thank you!

    Chris, I don't use BBP but I do use Parallels and VMWare Fusion and have yet to find any Windows software that won't run in either environment. What problems I've heard about involve video games that depend on specific graphics chips and these problems have decreased with each new version. Note that Parallels and Fusion are not emulators, you have to install an actual Windows operating system under which your software (e.g. BBP) runs.

    Chris, there is a "sort of" BB program that Chas uses; I will post tomorrow.

    17" MBP & 11" MBA being order in time for delivery to Apple Store 8 May.

    Decision made!!
    Cheers, Jay

    No. You will be able to handle any file converted by Breeze Browser.

    C.O.; I am not sure to which statement your "no" was directed.

    This the the software that Chas uses instead of BB: http://firstpass.lightoncanvas.com/Home.html

    The "No" was to his question 'will I have any issues doing my file conversions in BBP, and editing the tiff files in CS5 on the mac'
