There are two leading products at this point in time. This is where Windows is run in a virtual machine on top of OS X. The first way is through the use of virtualization software. There are a few ways to run Windows programs on a MacBook Air. There are many others but these are what I use on a regular basis. Omnipeek from Wildpackets, and Ekahau Site Survey from Ekahau. Airmagnet Wifi Analyzer and Survey Pro from Fluke. For instance, you have Wi-Spy, Chanalyzer and EYE PA from Metageek. If you're a WiFi geek like me you realize that most of the industry standard wireless tools run on Windows. Windows runs a lot better on Apple hardware than it ever did on other manufacturers equipment. So you have looked around and found out that the best Windows laptop for wireless work is a MacBook Air.
