The only problem I have with running DS v9 or v7 with Parallels 4 on Macbook
Pro is with some of the keyboard lettering so far. Since there is no numeric
keypad (enabling with function key as on my pc laptop), I can't use some of
the special lettering available with some of the fonts. I could do it with an
additional keyboard or stand alone numeric keypad though. I don't know if
there is another work around or not. Love the Macbook Pro.....got one for
Christmas 2008 and haven't looked back. I have the upgrade to Parallels 5, but
haven't installed it yet.
