Have you run into any problems since your installation?
I'm a drafter and want to start picking up side work, but I'm a Mac-guy, and don't have the money for a top of the line MacBook Pro, so I was wondering how well 2007 runs on your MacBook. Are the graphics acceptable? Any major glitches, besides the normal Solidworks one's? Thank you, in advance.

Hey John, pretty cool. I wonder about that from time to time. With Leopard out and a new Macstore in town it's even more tempting. Thanks for the info.

I just completed an installation of SolidWorks 2008 on a Macbook Pro running Bootcamp.

Last week I installed SolidWorks 2007 on a Macbook running Parallels.

Other than a mouse glitch on the system running Parallels that was easily resolved, both systems seem to run pretty well.

Not doing anything heavy duty, but did run some COSMOS FEA analysis on the Macbook Pro.

All in all, it went quite smoothly in both cases. The Macbook install was pretty slow however. I suspect Parallels has something to do with it.
