The CAD/CAM software industry is pretty well dominated by windows. If I ever found a good combination of CAD and CAM for mac, I'd buy it in a heartbeat; dump windows and never look back.

For now though, the best I can do is just run windows through bootcamp on my mac. It runs pretty well, and since I don't use my windows partition for anything other than CAD/CAM, it doesn't get viruses so it stays in pretty good shape and hasn't given me much trouble.
I would so dump windows, but since windows owns the monopoly. I am stuck here with windows. But if you want a good virus protection it is AVAST. It works and is better than any other, plus itz free. TRY IT GUYS.
