Parallels is awesome! :D

Then again, after looking at the pix, they merely show several versions of Windows (2.0.x through Win2K without NT 4, as far as I can see) in a Parallels window. Nothing really fancy there. Well: The Win 2.0.x is nice. As in "ugly", I mean. :)
 
oh sorry, didn't know registration was required to view the attatchments...here they are attatched to this thread :)

EDIT: Weird...the manage attatchments window doesn't seem to be working as the images won't upload (and there's no error that I can see either :-/)...here they are uploaded at imageshack...

well the point is to show how parallels can support a wide array of OSes, not just todays XP ;) :)

Well, VMWare has been able to do this forever now and they should have a Mac version of VMWare available for Intel Macs only (which sucks, but so be it :rolleyes:). VirtualPC and Q/QEMU can also do this, albeit slowly. :p

Now, if you ran Windows on Parallels and then in the Windows environment have VMware running Linux and then from within the Linux VM have QEMU running another x86 operating system..... ;)
 
Well: We don't have to wait for VMware to _finally_ come around, since Parallels has nailed virtualization for the Mac in my opinion. It's been working with various OSs for quite some time now. Good stuff, so I understand hexstar's happiness about it very well. It's just not _news_ anymore exactly. ;)
 
lol 1) that'd take a whole lotta space 2) that'd take a lot more ram then anyone these days reasonably have....but hey if you have the resources to do that I too would love to see that :p :D ...but then again maybe someday I'll decide to tackle that for fun...

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath on VMWare for the Mac, but it's another option. For now, Parallels is great and probably will continue to be so.
