On my MacBook model , FireWire port works under macos but notunder windows, whether boocamp or parallels. Specifically when writing several GB to FW it seems to work at first but then the port (driver) crashes. Also the FW can't be used for a camera. Only in Windows not MacOS. Seems to be a design issue and none of the bootcamp updates have resolved it. Also no hash key or delete key (only backspace). Oh yes and it overheats and crashes unless raised (eg by book at each end) above surface. Great screen but no FireWire is a real bummer with my FW800 GRaid mini. Only bought it for FCP. So think/borrow/hire/test carefully.

Resurrecting an older topic. I just bought an iMac 27 yesterday and installed parallels and windows 8 on it last night. Will be installing vegas 12 tonight but was wondering how it is doing for you? My main motivation for getting the iMac is to learn Final Cut but will continue to use vegas as well.

Also, wondering if Vegas will develop a mac version. They have mac versions of soundforge and spectral layers pro so it seems logical that a vegas for mac option has at least been discussed. I think it would be great. Media composer, premier, pro tools are all dual platform. Why not expand your opportunities?

I definitely recommend Boot Camp over Parallels.

Not only is Boot Camp free, but it allows you to boot into a complete Windows system that takes full advantage of your hardware, just as if you're working on a Windows computer, rather than working within in shell on the OSX system. That's a much more efficient use of your resources with many fewer liabilities.
