    Use this program to make a USB flash drive (Minimum 4GB) bootable with a genuine Windows 7 ISO.

    of course if using parallels or vmware then you don't even need to do that. you can simply use the ISO image to install it.

    USB stick or CD/DVD is only required when installing via bootcamp.

    That's interesting. Is the Windows 7 ISO a full version or a trial one? Would it work with VirtualBox since I'm not allowed to buy Parallels?

    Tell him you are a grown up(?) and you can spend your money on what you want....Unless of course you are trying to get him to spring for it?:)

    Try WineSkin its free and easy to use. (I know others have said Wine Bottler but Wineskin makes it easy)

    I use it to run Access 2007, Sim City 3000, and a few other Windows applications.

    I'd say, now we know it's CAD software that's trying to be run, it's pointless trying anything like this.

    I've tried that, but he seems to think buying the software is a waste of time.

    Yep :D Maybe I should just download it anyway and not say anything. Nobody in my family uses my Macs anyway as they're all Windows 7 users :o
