P.S. Please note that unlike the one trick Windows XP pony that Boot Camp is, Parallels runs any version of Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS alongside Mac OS X.

Meaning, to run them all, side by side, simultaneously.

Nobody is offering the far superior way of doing it: via Parallels ( parallels.com ) .

Hope against hope that Parallels gets more play when it's out of beta --


They will when it's out of beta.

well, isn't parallels just an application that you install or is there some sort of "setup" that needs to occur?

I think the reason people like to buy pre-installed OS's is because the tech requirements of installing right are a mystery to many. Especially installing 2 OSs on the same machine and wanting both OSs to know what the printer is, etc. seems like potential for a lot of problems.

Parallels, the application I would have no problem downloading myself.
