I can't choose between Mac and Windows so I guess I should use both... Are you happy using windows on your Mac machine? I've been a windows user since forever. There are a couple of applications which I need to use regularly (MYOB - an accounting package, and Inventor - a 3D CAD design package) which are Windows only.

I've spent the last six months using a 13" Macbook Pro, and while there are facets about it I love (screen, trackpad, gestures, build quality, editing music in Logic) there are also things I dislike (using Excel and Word in particular is truly awful on a Mac).

So, now that I need to set up a new home office (and give the Macbook back to its rightful owner, my Mum!) I need to decide what to buy. If I bought a machine just to run my business it would be a PC, but I don't want to lose the good things that I like about the Mac (especially running Logic).

So, if I buy a Mac, will I be happy running windows alongside it with either Boot Camp or Parallels (or both)?

It seems fine in theory, but what's your experience in practice?
