I use Storyline on a rMBP via parallels with Windows 8.1. While I'd love to see Storyline natively on Mac OS X, the Windows-VNC-Mac solution is a great one if you can swing it.

I store all my Storyline files on my iMac (in a shared folder that the PC accesses) so that my Mac OS X Time Machine backup software can take care of backups and versioning. The PC display shows up as a window (1600x900) on my iMac (2560x1440). One keyboard, one mouse, one monitor for both systems. The performance is great, particularly since the PC uses its processor/memory/drive, freeing that burden from my iMac. There are numerous VNC applications out there to choose from.

It's running VNC (virtual network computing) software that allows me to 'remotely' operate the laptop from my iMac in its own window. My company-issued Windows 7 laptop sits on the floor in another room, so it's out of the way and not cluttering up my desk. Nevertheless, this setup offers some real advantages.

If you had BOTH a Mac and a PC there wouldn't be a need for you to use Parallels or Fusion. VNC software over home LAN: Admittedly, this is not what this thread is talking about.

(How do Windows people keep their sanity? Get a Mac!) Anyway, that led me to another solution, which has worked fantastically to this day. Then our corporate IT group added more and more security software and hard disk encryption software and it dragged Windows things down to a crawl. Cut-and-paste between OS environments, large 27" iMac screen, multiple monitors…heavenly. It worked well for a couple of years, running virtually in a window on my Mac desktop. VMware Fusion: Using the Vmware-supplied Migration Agent utility I cloned my company-issued Windows XP craptop and ran the image on my iMac within Mac OS X. FWIW, I have used Storyline in these two Mac-centric setups:
