What about Parallels? How good is that?

I've got both and I'd say they're pretty much of a muchness in terms of how good their emulation is. It strikes me though that VMWare looks a bit more like a 'professional' product where as Parallels still has a bit of a 'home made' feel to it. Either will certainly do the job. There's the freeware VirtualBox too - got some rough edges compared ot the other two and I wouldn't think about running many games on it but for the price.. Jon

I rate VirtualBox higher than Parallels tbh. Parallels seems to have this feel that your virtualising, VirtualBox feels a bit more seamless, though I have used VB more...

I've decided I hate people. They get nudged slowly up against a wall by other people when it's not their turn to move (*nudge* *nudge* *nudge*) and then *bang*, they're 10km away in less than a tenth of a second. Retards.
