Best quote (about Parallels):

"Funkiest of all, you can run one OS on each connected screen like some prog-rock keyboards wizard. Or a programmer."

I've been running it on my macbook for over a week now and its quite nice. Make sure you install the parallels driver in windows so you can get the increased performance and other extra features. Also the image manager would not properly resize the drive after it had been created, something they hopefully fixed in the final release. Otherwise its really cool. I think I am going to wait though at least until the next OS X release to see how good a non-beta of boot camp is and if the rumors of native application support come true.

I can picture Wakeman, Banks or Emerson at the controls if I close my eyes.

Parallels/XP Pro runs just fine on my daughters new BlacBook with 1GB RAM. It pained me to put that sweet machine in her hands and watch it go out the door. I tried to pawn my 1.33GHz PB 15" off on her as 'proven technology' but even she wasn't buying that line.
