Re: [PLUG] R32 ate own hard drive -- recommendations for new purchase?

["W. Chris Shank" <shankwc@acetechgroup.com>]

I just got Parallels and it's awesome. I initially had a problem as there is an issue with the older version in the box and the new MBP's. But after I downloaded the updated version it's been running great. I have XP and Vista both running simultaneously with OS X and there is only a slight slow down. But the performance of XP in parallels is WAY better than on the 1.8Ghz P4 I had dedicated for it.

I just got the latest Ubuntu ISO and will be trying that next.


MBP - One laptop to run them all...

For $80 you can run them both simultaneously:

I use Parallels Desktop all the time on my MBPro and its really good. My
only complaint is that to get a networking mode like VMware's NAT mode you
actually have to turn NAT on in OS X, which is very annoying. Other than
that, its been great.
