I just watched someone here at the office run Parallels and switch between OS X and Windows. It looked pretty slick, especially with the copy and paste support between the two Operating Systems.
He said setup was pretty painless and unbelievably fast. He was running Win2003 and OS X on a Powerbook Pro (dual core). I only witnessed, and didn't have time to work with, anything myself...but it seemed to be very fast in both operating systems. Of course, I wouldn't want to run Photoshop in Windows and Final Cut in OS X at the same time... ;P Pretty slick and impressive nonetheless. -Michael -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 11:32 PM To: Pat Christenson; framers List Subject: Re: Runnning Windows on Mac news At 3:58 PM -0700 4/13/06, Pat Christenson wrote: >The NY Times had an article today about Parallels Workstation, a >beta software that allows you to run OS X and Windows (any version, >not just XP) simultaneously on an intel-powered Mac.

The beta copy already has the native drivers. There is no speed degradation. It is not emulation. Parallels seems to be virtulization, but not emulation. It is a true beta and does not yet have all the drivers needed. The caveat is that you need an Intel Mac to run these programs.
