Why an Apple Mac Pro if you are going to turn around and use it as Windows workstation? I don't think it runs on Mac OS X at this point (but could be totally wrong!).

A Mac Pro does make a good solid dual (or single) processor workstation for Windows 7 Pro with Xeon 5500s - or build a couple PCs.

Solid Edge works only on Win.
I use Solid Edge with Mac but I need win (Bootcamp or virtual machine). On virtual machine it works well, on Bootcamp it works like on PC!
You can buy a Mac Pro and install W7 with bootcamp. Remember that Solid Edge needs a Nvidia Graphic Card to work perfectly.

I know that NX (of Siemens) works on OS X (native), but not Solid Edge (we are waiting).
