Visual Studio 2012

I am considering the purchase of a new MacBook Pro ( 8 GB RAM, 1 TB drive )

I would also purchase the latest version of Parallels. I want to run in Coherence mode.

I have two Microsoft apps I would want to use.
Visual Studio 2012 and especially using Lightswitch
Expression Studio ( for website development ).

Theoretically this may, or may not work. I would really appreciate feedback from people who actually use one, or both, of these products.

Making this investment is significant for me. I would like make an informed decision.

I do this, it works

Generally, I turn off 'aero' theme, it doesn't look nice / work properly.

I have been working this way (MacBook Pro + Windows7 + Visual Studio) for quite some years and rarely have any problems with.

Be prepared to invest in learning/configuring the keyboard bindings/mappings between mac/windows though.

I can confirm that VS2012 RC and the Expression suite works like a charm under Parallels in coherence mode.
Go ahead.
 
I've worked this way for a long time with various version of Visual Studio and it works fine. I keep my projects in my documents folder on the Mac so they get picked up by Time Machine.

(although I am about to post a very small niggle I'm currently having with VS2012!)
