Parallels and Virtualization

I just posted a review of my experiences with Parallels on Between the Lines. Parallels is the virtualization technology that runs on OS X. It’s been in beta, but today it’s available as a final release.

I've been using Parallels since the initial beta on my MacBook Pro and it is great! It is very inexpensive as well. One thing your article didn't mention was that installing Parallels Tools (Menubar: VM -> Install Parallels Tools) greatly enhances the experience. It allows you to use more screen resolutions, and makes mousing much smoother. One caveat with it, is that you have to run the installer each time you upgrade Parallels Workstation.

Here's to hoping that Leopard supports some type of virtualization/abstraction.

Now you just need to take your MBP one step further and turn it into a Smackbook (http://blog.medallia.com/2006/05/smacbook_pro.html)
