Disillusioned/upset with my iMac

first of let me love hardware, issue osx lion, working myth far concerned.

having come many years of building pc's , using windows, have computing consulting business , have lot of experience operating systems , troubleshooting pc's. rare guy never had negative issues windows vista. need use windows visual web developer express , windows matrix design , maintain blogengine.net websites, there nothing remotely close on mac side this. there many things imac, 1 of them mail program, preview , more. advice , knowledge offered here.

since needed run windows contemplated installing bootcamp , vista learned lion not let me, needed windows 7. purchased vmfusion @ discount installed , copy of windows vista , programs needed.

have had reinstall lion 3 times working without issues, 2 of them without formatting , last time formatted , started over, of course meant cople more hours installing vmfusion , windows again, updates take lot of time.

here again, imac not wake morning , had shut down power switch , restart, screwed windows , have reinstall vmfusion, windows , programs again.

lion has been nightmare me, issues not waking up, not shutting down , freezing ready induce me maybe rid of imac. thinking of either buying windows 7 notebook run windows programs , not installing on imac, or buying copy of , running bootcamp, keep operating systems totally separate, enjoy switching , vmfusion know entail more issues in future.

advice out there me?

 

first not normal behaviour imac freezes, have got problem.

first step try , figure out causing problem. suggest try , clean install of mac os x again , install bootcamp , run few days see if problem occurs again. if maybe have hardware issue.

if problem not occur looks vmfusion maybe root cause. don't know vm fusion, have used parallels run windows on mac ever since in beta, , has never been problem me. parallels great can share desktop between os x , windows. parallels desktop mac, can seamlessly run both windows , mac os x lion applications side-by-side.
