I finally gave up on Wine/Windbottler, etc. Wanted a Macbook Air anyway, so bought a refurb and partitioned the drive with bootcamp to load Windows 7. Works fine. I use my Mac Pro for any heavy lifting, laptop just for travel and poker. Don't know what kind of Mac you have, but after a lot of f*king around bootcamp was just the least hassle.

Yea bootcamp seems to be a way to do it, but I heard you have to reboot every single time. I'm currently using a parallel windows trial. 5 days left so we'll see what I do then

You only reboot/restart if you're changing from osx to windows and vice versa. If this is your dedicated machine, then yes you'll have to restart in windows. My Air takes a few seconds at most, so no big deal. I leave it in windows most of the time. You're other options are parallels, vmware, virtual box, etc. or pick up a cheap machine to run windows. One of these days we may just get osx compatible software (not holding breath).
