I use an Apple iMac at the house running Leopard and Parallels for the VM. I have an Ubuntu partition that I run UniVerse 10.2 PE (Server) on and a second partition to run Windows XP (U2 Clients). Everything seems to run fine for me. But I am not beating the machine up.
On the Apple OS side: * I use an FTP client called Transmit that works nicely and understands my OpenSSH keys. * I do not use Skype, but there is a client for the Mac at http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/ * I do not use GoToMeeting so I cannot provide more insight there. Now, at work I use a MacBook Pro running Tiger and Parallels. This machine gets a lot of use. Memory configuration is the same and I do wish I had gone ahead and ordered more RAM. It runs well with 2GB, but I believe it would run better with 4GB. I use Windows XP for the U2 Clients, but connect to our AIX server for UniVerse. I have not had any issues specifically related to using the Apple hardware. As far as the Apple OS software that I run, I use the Transmit package to do my file transfers (mostly SFTP) and I use a package called Subethaedit to do coding. The biggest difficulty was setting up the syntax highlighting on Subethaedit. All in all, I find that very little of my time is spent on the Windows XP VM because most of the time, I am coding. The only real heavy task that I use the U2 Clients for is the XMLDB tool. Windows XP is quite snappy running under the VM. I am OK using it for development, but I would not want to play video games that way.
