Parallels Desktop 3.0
Just got Parallels Desktop for Mac. Played around with it for a bit, I thought it was really cool. I can run Windows XP at nearly native speed within Mac OSX, in a Window! When I resized the window, the display resolution in XP adapted to it instantly, I thought this was really amazing. Also, desktop can be shared between OSX and XP seamlessly, so I could basically download a game for the Mac from XP, put it on the XP desktop, and look for it under the OSX desktop! Since Parallels Desktop is a “virtual machine”, I could even set up any amount of RAM, hard disk space….etc for the virtual machine, and XP will think that it is running under that system. Wow I never thought it is ever possible to build cool stuff like this… I don’t need a PC now… Mac rules
(I’ve also tried Bootcamp, it’s a similar product but you need to restart your Mac in order to boot into Windows XP, which realy sucked)
