Thanks John,

I do. Actually, Windows is on Bootcamp but run through VB.

Have any users run VB on a fresh install (as opposed to the upgrade)? I 
won't be upgrading this year. I have important applications that would 
be broken by Mavericks and need to wait for the upgrades of those to be 
tested before upgrading the OS.
