Software Development Guide…

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article, but it sounds interesting…

I’m glad to hear that you had a good experience with virtualization in real life – it’s not just marketing that is slow and a pain in practice (Virtual PC was that for me).

But I’m very concerned it will be shot to hell b/c M$ will prevent Vista from working on it. I know someone may hack a workaround, but we need off the shelf, licensed products like Parallels to support Vista on MacIntel, or it’s no longer a selling point.

The Mac Minis do look like pretty good hardware, but a $850 Mac + $299 for a retail copy of XP Pro is a good bit more than the $899 Dell if all you really want is a PC. I can’t see this being much of a deal for someone who isn’t going to dual-boot into OS X as well.

Also, while the exact meaning of some of the more onerous Vista license terms are still being argued, it looks like many of the features will be restricted / prohibited under virts like Parallels (playing DRM’d content, for example – and probably anything else that requires a “trusted” computer that can’t be controlled by its untrusted owner).

same setup as me and am very pleased.. the only downside i see with parrallels is the lack of directX 3D support tbut they are suppose to be working on this. Cant wait so we get native 3D games .. still u can get it on bootcamp if you really need it
