I know, but I'll end up spending most of my time in windows, which kind of defeats the point of buying an iMac in the first place? Especially since it's more expensive than a generic windows box and not easily upgradeable too. And if i dual boot too many times the licensing breaks...
I mean, I really don't wish to deal with windows anymore, but unless someone tells me that parallels/fusion performance is ok, or autodesk makes a mac version of 3ds max (dream on) it looks like I don't have much of a choice.
