I'm about to buy a iMac PC and I wonder if there is anyone who uses a Mac who could answer a few queries. My local Apple Store says Yes to everything but read literature suggests otherwise.
a: Will my new iMac have the software to write to Blu-Ray disks to my LG Nas Unit?
b: I use Dreamweaver and Xara for web editing on Win7; Will my new iMac be open to virus attacks if I run Windows XP or Win 7 through a virtual window using Fusion.
Thanks
Badlad.

a) I assume you mean "rip" blue ray disks to your NAS... it's possible, but it's a very long process that's not straightforward on any computer (mac or PC) and you'll also need a lot of hard drive space for each rip!

b) the mac won't be at risk as the virtual machine protects the host, the install of windows would be at risk of getting a virus just like any other windows install.
