bootcamp

Looking at maybe getting a mbp but some of the software I need is windows based, is bootcamp nice and stable on the mbp (would be looking to run windows 7 pro (as have a legit copy!)
the software can be fairly hefty (autodesk revit) but the spec of the mbp should run it no probs, I just don't want any other issues if the os become unstable?

is that not more hardware intensive?
Having both running at the same time isn't really needed for what I'm doing - but might look into that in future i guess

would be looking at the ram upgrade anyway, but interesting about parallels - worth trying for a couple of weeks, although some of the software I use is a pain a lot of the time on a stable system so anything that makes it slightly worse would be better avoided!!
If Bootcamp is more stable I would go with that as I have no need to have both os going at the same time

What software will you be using?

Revit is probably the heaviest one, especially doing some renders - occasional 3dsmax and Lumion, Autocad and Adobe creative suite

(most are only because I have windows licences but any that can will be changed to mac versions as they come up for renewal - but revit is windows only at the moment)
