Jack,

Am running Win7 as a VM under VirtualBox (same function as VMware) on my Mac. QImage processes and prints the images stored in folders on my Mac (ie on the host). The VM is only for running non-Mac programs and doesn't act as storage for any documents, images etc. I pause the whole virtual machine when not using it so it doesn't consume the CPU unnecessarily.

Not as good as QImac but close to it. Use it routinely.
