However, I do have problems runs Steam games from Windows due to the lack of a dedicated DirectX video card. I use the setup mostly for testing and for playing Project Spark. Does anyone know if the dedicated video card on the latest Macbook Pro supports DirectX games? Also, I think he meant to say "Cmd+Shift+4" as the OS X screenshot shortcut or "Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+4" to copy screenshot to the clipboard.

It's a little thing, but Cmd+Shift+3 is actually the shortcut to send a screenshot of the entire screen to the desktop. Cmd+Shift+4 is great for selecting a region.

It supports DirectX fine, Macs use regular GPUs. Did you not install the drivers?
