Just bought a MacBook - had used Apple in our elementary schools but it has been a while.....Apple store suggested "Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac" to use Windows for some real estate stuff I do - and then the "Office Mac" home and student for my son and I. Not quite sure I understand why I need the Parallels Desktop - and that I should also install the "Windows XP". So, approx. $250 later, I guess I have it all. Necessary? And if so - what do I install first? Thanks!
