Is Parallels the way to go to run Windows on a MAC? Don't bother with
the Apple or any other solution?

Cliff, I'm about 3 weeks ahead of you.  The MacBook Pro is great!  Run
it with Parallels and you can develop in both Windoz and OSX  (nice for
browser output comparison).  OSX comes with PHP 4.x so you'll have to
upgrade if you want 5.x - mysql needs to be installed.  OSX also comes
with Apache 1.x.  I'm in the process of installing Zend (appears to work
w/out a problem).

Note:  OSX is a gui friendly version of FreeBSD.  The upside is it's
Unix, the downside is there a learning curve if you're not a Unix guy. 

In general - jump in, the water is great!

After this flurry of ZEND IDE p roblems, my lap top 's 10 minute battery

get a new lapto p. And I'm thinking of bailing Windows to get a Macbook
p ro or just a regular macbook.
 
Is anyone using Zend on an Intel-based Macbook? Any p roblems? Good
develop ment environment? Any comments regarding the Macbook vs Mackbook
p ro?
 
Chanukah is only two days away.
