I have it, and LOVE it! I too had to use Parallels on my Mac just to use EQ7....Hated having to start of "the dark side" to use it. EQ7 itself does have a learning curve...but if you actually go through their manual...it does all make sense! I use mine all of the time...including scanning my own fabric stash so that when I design a quilt, I am using my own fabrics and really have a much better idea of what I want.
