I can see how you'd be able to quickly flip between systems running in
parallel with this approach, but how well does it fare with regards to
seamless windowing? Allowing multiple apps from more than one OS to
all show distinct windows on the same screen at the same time, in the
same fashion as parallels, virtualbox, eXceed, or even Citrix Metaframe.
One thing at a time... In any case, there are other problems to solve
too. For instance: Snow Leopard runs well as a guest in a Linux host,
with the exception of the display. The problem is that, in spite of
having enabled "hw acceleration" in VMWare, Mac OS X needed a specific
driver (from the VMWare tools) and the performance isn't by far the same
as a native Mac OS X. Considering that one of the primary purposes of
Mac OS X - at least for me - is manipulating media, screen performance
is a must... Let's say it's decent, but I'm searching for an
improvement. Also, there are still residual issues for color calibration
and I've not tried yet two monitors. All of these things would really
make me prefer to find a way to have the Mac OS X guest be able to
directly access the video card, giving up to seamless windowing (that
clearly excludes a direct access to hardware).
