That said, I can understand your application of logic. I had a MacBook when Sims 3 was released and the graphics wouldn't show up properly because of graphic cards incompatibility. Apparently, they might actually show up if I run it on Bootcamp. I was half-tempted to run it there (the other half wants me to buy a MBP
) but I didn't because it was quite lame to do so. I continued playing even with the poor graphics anyway
If you need Win7 and CAD, always buy the machine that works best first. Wait for MB prices to drop and get one if you really want to try Mac OS, or play around with a refurbished set. No point spending all the money on a decent machine (MB) to run an OS (Bootcamp) that's sub-standard
on said machine when there is a decent compatible OS already installed
It's like trying to use Apple OS on a PC - NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Just giving my thoughts, I think many users make blanket comments (from both camps, from what I've seen) that are not really accurate.

Yes! Just like the ereader camps too haha, Nook vs Kindle... zzz...
There are people who put Apple down because the programs they bought wouldn't work in Bootcamp, and there are people who put Windows down because they perceive it is cool to like Apple (I can't think of any other reasons). All I'm saying is that both are decent OS, and it's awesome that we have the choice to choose between them for our individual needs.
