Do you suppose that is factual, or in error? Is there software, (for business applications) that might not run on Windows native?

Not factual. Use Boot Camp and install Windows on any Mac and it is Windows. I haven't heard of any serious problems even using VMWare or Parallels, but just dual-booting Windows and OS/X with the built-in Boot Camp resolves any possible issue.

The MacBook Pro 13" is the best college device, IMHO.

Thank you so much for the incoming advice. I hope to get as many opinions as I can, so the shopping can begin.

School starts in just a few weeks - and, while I wish he could use a Mac, it might be that the IT people there do not want to lose their jobs. (just a joke among friends!)

I agree! We have computer labs that use boot camp for activities related to Windows and Mac Native for Mac activities. Best of both worlds.
