Hi, I've tried to run sas on MACBOOK both using VMWARE and Bootcamp. I
must say that I can't stand the performance. The machine gets hot and
responds slowly when I'm running big datasets. Since I need to deal
with datasets larger than 1Gb, I get a dell desktop to run sas and use
remote desktop connection to control the program. It works for me!
