I have to load Dragon into my son's new Macbook Pro. Would it be best to use the Bootcamp program or parallels? He probably won't load Windows or any other programs (as of now). We really need to just load Dragon into it so he can use it. He also uses a headmouse to navigate. Thanks for any help!

I would recommend going with Apple's Boot Camp for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. When the computer is turned on it will boot into Windows unless someone holds down the Option key. I don't know if you can reverse the order. It is just something to keep in mind. If you're not planning on doing a lot in Windows, set the partition for about 50 GB.

I was under the impression I had to buy Boot Camp but someone told me the laptop has it already. He got it in Feb. It has the Leopard program in it and they said the Boot Camp is in Leopard. I am new to Mac, is this true? If so, I guess I just have to buy the Dragon program and install it?
Boot Camp is built into Leopard. If you have AppleCare, a Product Specialist can help you through the Boot Camp set up, at no charge.
Good luck and keep us posted.
