Parallels

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Hi from Paris,

I run Parallels on my iMacs. I constantly get Peripheral
problems, so I know that Parallels has limitations, especially
with "Not-so-common" I/O devices. I never run Games programs.

However, for standard Widows programs, Parallels is a whiz !
And for the price, you really can't complain. Also, allow
for the fact that you can run it at the same time as Mac OSX,
not like Bootcamp where you have to reboot.
I have lots of ROM, so I can launch Parallels and forget it.
I can then run Windows or OS X programs immediately, in the
twinkling of an eye (well ..... almost !).

A Windows program opening an OS X file, An OS X program opening
a Windows file, Windows icons in the OS X Dock - Great Stuff !!!

A future Bootcamp version will run with OSX, and a future Parallels
version will cover more peripherals.

You'll just have to be patient.

Francis
