Subject: more on Initial experience with Win XP VM with Parallels
Desktop for [Intel] Mac
One thing that I forgot to add:
TRANSFERRING OBJECTS BETWEEN THE MAC AND THE VM: Parallels makes it
really easy, once you read the f#*%()[EMAIL PROTECTED] manual. All you have to do
is set up one or more folders that are seen in common by both OS's.
Then, anything that you drop into one is available to the other. This
includes .exe files that you can download in the Mac and open in
Windows, for example. Or image files (.jpg, .gif, etc.), or .pdfs.
So, you don't have to risk downloading unseen malware into your
Windows environment (unless, of course, the object you download is
itself infected); you can download it with a Mac browser and then
drop it into the shared window. Also, text snippets copied to the
clipboard freely transfer between the two environments.
If you have to use Windows for some reason, this can be a really
liberating experience!
