I wish I didn't, but I feel your pain. More often than I care to admit, sadly. In order to be relevant to the teachers and administrators I server, I think I must continue to share your pain.

I absolutely love this solution. It's been much better than running Bootcamp, not exactly sure why but it's very quick. I don't run Windows (or Ubuntu) a whole lot, but when I do, it's all I need and quicker than I expected. Alan, I’ve been running Parallels with both XP and Ubuntu. I absolutely love this solution.

Bag google Bad Google Bad Google). Chris- wonder how many ordinary Jane/Joes out there can handle that. My wonder is how a Major Gazillion Dollar Corporation can seel a product that most of the consumer purchasers could never maintain? I think the bugs a re a conspiracy that keep the businesses of a hundred thousand windows support service techs afloat. I will be posting soon about parallels, yes. I would be writing this today, if I did not waste my evening trying to update Microsoft windows by going to <a href="http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com" rel="nofollow">Update Microsoft Windows</a>.

I just installed Windows XP Home under VMWare server on my Ubuntu Linux machine and it only works because I can keep it under thumb. I do have boot camp running on my MBP but Windows works fine. Will you post about your experience with parallels? Thanks! Chris Craft I hear ya!
