Please explain what you mean by a virtual window? I assume you mean run Windows in a virtual machine?


I think you would be better off using the Mac versions of those software, Office, Photoshop & Flash can all be installed on a Mac.

Running a virtual machine will decrease performance and should be used when an app has no Mac version. The other option is to use bootcamp, which makes a complete Windows install on your Mac in addition to OS X. This basically defeats the purpose of buying a Mac if you only plan to run Windows.


You will need a Mac licence for Office & Photoshop, see if you can 'cross grade' them…

I can't see the option for Microsoft Office so have search on MS's site.
