| Another point to make: Be careful what you share between the virtualized MS Windows and OS X. If you share folders containing important files and get infected by a virus or worm, it could write copies of itself in your shared Mac OS files, corrupting them. Accessing those files with OS X wouldn't spread the virus because it wouldn't work in OS X. But you might end up with corrupted files. Doug

| Running XP Pro SP2 under Parallels with my MBPro 2.33 is anything but slow. The only downside is the 20 to 30 second wait for "booting" up the virtualized environment. Nothing like Virtual PC was. Autocad supposedly runs pretty well under Parallels according to users on their forum. http://forum.parallels.com/thread2867.html
