We'll have to wait and see but I'm impressed up till now.
Of course, you don't have to run virtual machines using Fusion or
Paralels Desktop, you can use Bootcamp and boot between Tiger and
Windows, that has some advantages, the main one being that you have
more resources and processing power available if using Bootcamp than
you do when running a virtual machine but virtual machines have their
place too in that you can have 2 or more machines running at the same
time so you can say copy text from Microsoft Word running under your
Virtual Windows XP Machine to Text Edit running under Tiger.

Let me know how it all works. I plan on doing the same, but I want to
learn the Mac first. I wonder if virtual machines will be any better
with Leopard.

Same applied when I had my canon 8000f scanner connected, I'm
about to do that again actually as I now have the virtual machine
for Windows XP with Fusion up and running here, will be interested
to see how Kurzweil performs.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying. Be ware that its quite
possible that the Mac won't find any additional software but it
will find enough software to allow the computer to print with
your printer. I have 3 printers here and the Mac found each one
in tern when I connected them, again I say, confirm this in
Printers and Faxes.
there's no doubt about it, others can learn from the design of
the Mac, it intergrates with hardware flawlessly for the most
part etc.

Now this printer is not connected to a network at all. So are you
saying without the installation disc my Mac will still find it?

You should be able to yes, your Mac should automatically find the
printer, you can check this under the Printers and Faxes in
System Preferences.

Listers I have a portable Canon IP90 printer and I don't have the
installation disc for it, however it is already been configured
for my Windows machine. My question is can I just plug it in
and think that it will work or do I have to go to Canon's
website and get the drivers? If so does it work the same?
