Sims,
I have licenses for both Parallels (up to v 4) and VMWare Fusion and yet
I've switched to virtualbox. I like sun virtualbox very much gives
everything parallels and vmware ever did to me and yet it is free.
I have the same machine as the one you're buying wondeful laptop. I use

Hi Jim,
Have an eye to Sun VirtualBox 3 (free), as a possible alternative to
WMware. I switched from Parallels and never went back to it nor
WMware. Run faster and safer than Parallels and never crashes.

Your main choice is to Boot Camp or not to Boot Camp. Your second choice is
which virtual machine product to use.
If you Boot Camp, you gain the advantage that you can reboot your Mac into
Windows natively. This has performance and compatibility benefits,
especially with games that use

I went ahead and ordered the Parallels 5 upgrade. I ordered the boxed version,
hopefully I can find my old serial number by the time the box arrives!

What have other people done with their machines?
What OS(s) have you loaded - XP, Vista,Windows 7?
If Linux, what flavor might be the best/most common to develop for?
How did you partition it? What sizes for each?

Of course the cheap-jack end of the market (i.e. Richmond) does this:
Pentium III with OEM Windows XP = $100 runs headless via Microsoft
Remote Desktop Coonexion,
Pentium 4 with Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS 2nd-hand VDU keyboard = $100
6 year old G4 Mac = $52 on eBay at the moment VDU ($10)

There is indeed an alternative to just bootcamp or VMs, for Intel macs (not
G4/5s) called rEFIt.
Unlike Windows, Intel macs use a boot architecture called EFI. You can
overwrite that with an open source product called rEFIt that boots into a
screen that is similar to holding down the option key

If you're using VMWare you don't need to set up separate partitions.
The VMWare images for different operating systems are just files.

Use the option of letting the vmware drive file auto-resize as needed,
so start small.
In case you find the 160 becomes too small...
On my laptop I am doing a lot of video work, so I replaced the 160 Gb
5400 rpm with a 500 Gb 7200 rpm. Very easy to do. Bought the drive
for $110, and did

I'm thinking of using VMware Fusion to add at least one version of
Windows or maybe more. This will hopefully be my travel machine that I
want to use for development while away, so I'd like to get all I might
Depends on the machine. Not so easy on 1st Gen Macbook Pro. It can be done
by mortals but ugly,scary disassembly.
