Alternative: Dual Boot.
But other than that, that's what happened to me, and I found myself booting
windows less and less, until, when I got a new machine, I didn't bother
installing windows on it at all.
And I'm one of those "Gamers" that everyone says has to use windows.
WINE (and a beefy graphics card) do wonders. (Ok, my new machine is a monster
in general, but I figured it would be better to give WINE as much resources as
it could use, since I *am* one of those gamers)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I have thought of doing this. But $$ is the constraint. There are other
priorities I
have to consider in my life. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Why dual boot if you can run VirtualBox (or some equivalent)?
As there are a couple of administrative apps that, where I work, require IE, I
keep a copy of W7 in a VM. Use it once a quarter. It takes ~1 hour to update
its antivirus before I can use it ... so I boot the VM in the morning, let it
run in the background, and get to that [expletive deleted] Web page in the
afternoon.
However, that won't do for Mac-only apps. For that, I suppose you'd need to get
an old Mac desktop and RDP to it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
