is the Apple product parallels main source of income, anybody know? I think it's their only source of income. They only list the Mac products as offerings and the About Us page doesn't specify how long they've been in business (guessing that the '95 and '99 timeframes indicate when the principals were working for other companies. I might be reading too much into this but they are ~15 miles from VMWare's VA offices which was founded in 1998... maybe that's where they were in '99?) I don't think one in 10 Mac users buys parallels, although the high end users probably do. It wouldn't surprise me at all. Considering that the majority of new Apple customers going forward are coming from something other than Mac (i.e. Windows, Linux) and a percentage of them won't want to reboot to run specific apps. Add to that, right now they are the only game in town. It will be interesting to see how they do once VMWare really enters the fray.
