I’ve been running Windows XP Pro on my MacBook Pro for a few weeks now, and I have to say, I’m quite pleased. I have XP installed as a BootCamp partition, and at first, I booted into XP to do any GIS work. Lately, however, I’ve been working strictly in the VM, and ArcGIS works like a champ, a little bit slower, sure; but still quite reliable and stable. For the VM, I have allocated 1GB of RAM (I’m maxed out at 2GB, I have a first generation MBP) and both processors. I installed a Ubuntu Gutsy VM the other night, and that is one sweet little package. I’ll definitely be playing around with that some more soon.
