[Hidden-tech] parallels / bootcamp question

[Peter Hutchins]

An additional item to note for Parallels: You can not install the most basic
flavors of Vista ("Home" I believe), instead you need "Business" or higher
(more money).

I run installs of both XP and Vista, and see no advantage in Vista unless
you need a Vista specific feature. Instead save your money and try to pickup
a copy of XP, I don't believe there are any version requirements for
Parallels with XP. XP seems to run faster, too.
