machine. If you run Raiser's Edge on a Mac, you will get limited to no
support from Blackbaud if there are problems. I had one Mac running it.
When we ran into an issue with the software, I was told that they could
not help with the problem (even on the PCs that were running it) if we
continued to have it also running on a Mac. Since we pay over $20,000 a
year for support (EE/FE and RE), I got rid of the Mac quickly and am now
all Win machines.

I think it would be a very bad idea to run the Raiser's Edge Server in=20
Parallels, and probably a bad idea to run the client that way as well.=20
Raiser's Edge is, not to put to fine a point on it, a resource hog. And=20
I would be very surprised if Blackbaud supported virtual machines at=20
all. Certainly test it VERY thoroughly (and under a load) before=20
trusting such a setup.
