Wow. I'm so glad I had a look in and saw that! Absolutely fantastic, I love it to pieces, especially in combination with some of the non-bundled software he recommends.

Brilliant .:D

Word of warning. If you share your log in as I do it won't install properly for your login partner. Also when it system restores it leaves many Mac icons behind. AdAwares ad watch resident protection is not compatable and replicates and switches off if you try to commit it to the task bar You can just leave it's dialogue box open on the desktop. Apart from that it's very cool.

If you really love mac os why not buy a proper mac laptop,, there are a lot of mac laptops there that are much cheaper than sony viao. I only say this Coz to me you sound like that you only bought your vaio coz you couldnt afford an apple laptop, which is sounds like to me again that your sony vaio is just a second option.(which is not good to read if you are in a vaio forum)

As Apple are now using the simular Intel chipsets that Vaio's have been using for years are they not following Sony? Don't get me wrong I was trained on Mac's for graphic design but went PC for the CAD applications which render graphics anyway and give you 80% more software choice. Could do without all the BS security update measures however. If the screen is as good as a Sony I might go for a duel boot MAC next time. Are they?
