    This is how I did it. Bootcamp was so easy and windows 7 cost me right around $100 iirc.

    I have been using parallels 7 with HPTuners running under Windows 7 without any issues.

    So there will never be MAC support? I'm running it through bootcamp and it sucks.

    Works perfectly for me using parallels. Zero problems. Only bad thing is I have to leave the lid open when scanning so I worry a little that it will slide off the seat during a run and break. Cannot close the lid on a Mac or it goes to sleep.

    Update on mine, I removed REFIT as my boot option because it causes issues with the screen brightness when in windows. Now once the computer is started up I just hold the "Option" key down and roughly 5 seconds later it pulls up current found bootable drives to boot to. So you can select Windows or Mac. I personally love mine. Probably wont ever own a different computer.
