Yes, Bill. I've been running on a MacBook since December of last
year. I use Parallels for any Windows work I need to do. I love it. I
set up a Windows VM for each client. That may be overkill, but the
ability to snapshot the state of the entire machine, test, rollback,
test, rollback is a real productivity booster. I haven't tried
loading a VM with Linux and then putting UniVerse PE on top of that
yet. But it shouldn't be a problem. Windows XP running in VM
frequently out performs some of my colleagues running XP native,
depending on their h/w.
I don't use Skype or GoToMeeting (yet), but they do have Mac clients
for them SFTP is no problem. Remember, OS X is built on top of BSD
Unix. Being a Unix dude, I open a local terminal and use command line
at times--not that I have to. I just prefer a Road Less Pixeled for
some things.
All in all, I'm a fan. I'd be hard-pressed to switch back to Windows
as a full-time system.

This reminds me of a question I've been wanting to ask. Does
anyone use an Apple
(the new leopard O/S with a VM for Windows)?
I've been thinking of buying one for my next PC purchase. I need
Windows for .NET
development, AccuTerm, U2 and mv.NET administration tools, and
possibly other stuff.
I wonder if I can get Skype, a SFTP client, GoToMeeting, and any
other useful stuff,
to replace Windows software, for Apple.
