Update on Parallels Beta and Windows XP. There is a bug in Parallels that lets you run a Windows XP Virtual machine one time. But if you choose to run in Coherent Mode (where Windows software appears to run on the Mac Desktop and there is a Windows Task Bar across the bottom) the Windows VM will not run the second time. So I installed Windows into Boot Camp and then ran it as a VM with the Parallels beta. It worked well, so I tried coherent mode with it. Again, it worked the first time very well, but not the second time. So, rather than install Windows again (that authorization routine really sucks!) I'm running it in Boot Camp (which still runs even after the error was introduced) until Parallels gets it working.

So now a little about all that super powerful software that is available only on the PC, it's a joke upon humanity! Visio, which many PCers swear by, is essentially crap. It just proves why people should only do graphics on a Mac. It'll really be interesting to see if Microsoft learns anything about how to do graphics at all in Vista and Office 2007. But then some of the software written by third parties is even worse than Microsoft at doing graphics. This one particular package is actually mind-numbing to use. The graphics are so ugly it takes hours to clean them up with the primitive tools available.

There are good graphics programs on the PC. Most of them brought their Mac heritage with them to the PC.
