The one thing I want from parallels desktop is to be able to run OSX on an Intel PC.
It'd solve a hundred arguments about platforms and so on at work. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Jeffs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 8 July 2006 10:18 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VMWare Player...

Late to the thread, but hypervisor-based Parallels <parallels.com> - although non-free-as-in-speech-and-beer(USD50 for Winders, Linux; USD80 OS X macintels) - is worth a mention here: easy to install product that seems to just work, and at native or near-native speeds. Parallels provides a free trial; give it a try, its impressed the hell out of me running XP as guest on Linux host, or FC5, Dapper, Damnsmall, Puppy, Knoppix as guest with Win2K or XP hosts, and it really is near-native speed.
