Anyone Use Empty4 with a MAC?

Post by obnoxious2 »

Hey guys,

I'm looking to pick up a new computer soon as my 6-7 year old dell is a dying POS. I was thinking of getting a macbook pro or air but still want to be able to trade Empty4. So I was wondering if any of you guys do and what you use for compatibility. I have heard of just installing windows 7 (which would stupid of me to getting a mac) or using a software called Wineskin.

I run a Windows VM using Parallels Desktop. It has a feature called Coherence, which eliminates all the windows-y stuff and makes your Windows-programs (almost) look and behave like normal Mac apps. I'm pretty happy with it.

Also, it's pretty easy on resources. I use it on pretty minimalistic settings and everything runs just fine. (Except of course, you want to do some video editing while trading. And have Skype running. And a 3D-modeling app. And iTunes. And play some flash games while at it. And watch some hulu...)
