You would need to run a windows operating system such as using parallels & win xp...we have several customers that have gone this route successfully.

Running Windows in Parallels or Fusion on top of Mac OSX works ok, as long as you have lots of memory... it will still be a little slow.

But think about this: this is many layers of software where something can go wrong... you wouldn't want a failure during a flash.

I think you would be better off installing Boot Camp and dual booting into native Windows.

Parallels and Fusion are not free.

Boot Camp is free.
