Our school has Macs dual booting Windows 7 for running Autodesk Inventor. For single parts and assemblies containing only a few parts they are okay, but once you start working with large assemblies they become unbearably slow. Also, they run out of memory in about 5 minutes while working with our full robot CAD model, so we had to get a computer from our sponsor or bring in our own computers to get any design work done later in the season.
