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. -pH On 10/30/07, Tom / Reelife Productions <tomadams at gmail.com> wrote: > > ** The author of this post was a Good Dobee. > ** You too can help the group > ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > > Hello fellow hidden techers: > Hoping someone can help clarify how parallels, bootcamp (and other similar > applications) work.
