I’ve started playing with “Parallels” on my mini.
It has its quirks. Mostly with devices. And how it will occasionally change the screen resolution (or at least it did that when I first started.) of the Windows instance…
The annoying part is really with Windows and how you have to “activate” it. I pay $300 for a piece of software (It has to be a Full licensed copy of Win XP Pro (No Upgrade copies.) to work with Apple’s BootCamp sofware) and AFTER I enter the license key it THEN expects me to “Activate” it? Or it won’t run in 30 days? Phooie… so I have to decide if I want to use Parallels or do a straight boot on the hardware (BootCamp) since I apparently can’t do both.
But in order to experiment… I have to install Windows XP twice!!!!!!
Hmm…
It’s gonna take me a couple days just to set things up to test… to see which does Visual Studio .Net better (which is the whole goal)… Dolphin 6 (Community version) seems to work fine under Parallels (so far… didn’t do much with it yet)
It should work… it’s all a matter of which “feels” better (And which one works best with my favorite keyboard (An LK450 on a USB keyboard adapter…) if at all.)
