Doomed!

Win on a Mac - Yes

In my case....

Since my desktop PC died a couple of months ago, I installed Win 7 x64 on my 2010 MacBook Pro and it runs like a dream, runs continually, and I very rarely boot back into OS X. I do like OS X which is why I bought the Mac in the first place, but have been a Windows user since 3.11 :)

Just my pennyworth :)
