Please explain?

I'm about to buy a laptop, on which I want to run Reason and Wavelab. Wavelab 6 is PC-only, but I want to get a MacBook Pro. So... I've been thinking about running Reason on the Mac OS and Wavelab on Windows in Bootcamp.

I know there are music producers out there who are doing this, so what are the problems (potential or actual)? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "driver support" & Apple's lack of it. If it works, it works, right? or am I being naive.

***news flash*** I just got a call from the guy I'm buying the software from, and he tells me Wavelab 7 (for Mac) is due to be released in June-July. So I can upgrade then, and run it on the Mac OS - problem solved, no need for Bootcamp. But I'd still be interested to know what the probs are, in your opinion.

thanks!
