Jim,

My sources tell me that Vista runs fine under Boot Camp. It's just not officially certified yet. Since Boot Camp is a true dual-boot solution, you would be running Vista natively, so there shouldn't be any trouble.

Reportedly, Parallels Desktop now supports Vista officially. I found a good mini-review here:

I don't think we'll have to worry about Vista support on Apple hardware going forward.

Regards,

Devin

Given that Microsoft will discontinue support for WinXP at some point in the future, what does this mean for those who setup to use virtuals (Boot Camp,
Parallels, etc)?

It sounds like Vista will be too demanding to be used on a Mac in a virtual environ. Since authorization is required for any install, it seems like the future will be that we are forced to use pirated copies since MS will want
to force the upgrade to Vista.

One of my goals in my two businesses is to use the Parallels solution, but
this may have a short life expectancy.

Am I off-base in my thinking, and should just not worry about XP
disappearing in the next couple years?
