Re: running Virtual Machines on Mac OS

[Phil Halton]

I understand that parallels is a viable option and apparently the best and most stable option for a Windows VM on a Mac. There is a small difficulty in the installation which requires some cited assistance or, on the APPLE verse IS website there is a good discussion of parallels on the Mac. I was seriously going to go ahead and install windows see a parallels but I realized that my carpal tunnel will prevent me from using the keyboard to the extent I would want to and so bypassed setting up a VM. Anoth Another great thing about the parallels installation is that it will download and install windows for you with virtually no interaction on your part until it gets to the window set up portion. That is you won’t have to mess around with the early phase of installation. That alone seemed like a good reason to go with parallels.
