Near guarantee that any office out there that has finally abandoned the PC world for MACs has no regrets. My MacBook laptop is a 2003 that has never "burped" and runs fine, never needing to be babysat or fed anti-virus software.
Typing this on a brand new PowerBook. We have only one PC left in the office for someone afraid of change - not to worry, it'll die by age 2 or 3, they all do.
When we run parallels or boot camp on the Macs to run other software there - it runs fine - but -
When we had a glitch (on the PC side), we had to re-install everything on both sides. Our back-up drives re-loaded the Mac sides as if nothing had happened. The PC side? All was lost. Programs, files, documents - all of it.
If AutoCad has a Mac version - get it. We've even begun to abandon MS Office in favor of the much cheaper, as good or better versions from Apple. Seamless efforts with iPhone and iPad.
Once you go Mac, you never go back.

I've been running a 'virtual' Windows XP PC, using VM Ware Fusion, with AutoCad for several years on a Mac. Good solid stable performance, even when AutoCad occasionally crashes. I've not tried the newer version specifically for Apple yet.

With the new version for Mac, is it still better on PC platform?
