You are much better off getting something like VirtualBox (which is free) and installing a real copy of Windows inside it... then he can run Windows as a program on top of Mac OS X, and MSes Visual Studio apps run ok that way... but it does take a legal copy of Windows, so its not 100% free. Wow! I just downloaded VirtualBox. Wow! :D Thank you!!! [Image: http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/sign/sign0201.gif ]
