I know someone buying a new 15" MBP laptop and am helping them decide between Parallels 4 (or VMWare 2) versus Bootcamp for the single Windows app they need to run ... AutoCAD.
They are a beginning architecture student (and both parents are engineers) and already they know Sketchup but are required to work in AutoCAD for certain courses apparently. Earlier versions of Parallels didn't handle AutoCAD well but does the new version? Anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

Haven't tried it in Parallels 4 but VMWare 2 runs it pretty much flawlessly but it's a bit slow if working with 3D but 2D files.
