Parallels
-
I'm buying a Mac. There, I've said it. I'm not ashamed. Even though the Apple marketing and its blatant distortion (and selective memory) of facts offends me; even though Apple's track record of managing security issues is delinquent, and even though Mac's holier-than-thou attitude makes my skin crawl, and even though Apple treats its users like dumb bovine when it comes to forcing unecessary and unwanted software installs upon them, and even though you pay a massive premium on what is essentially a well packaged Intel box...I'm still getting one. Because PCs are ugly. Because I need to start working again on a non-XP OS and Vista makes me angry and depressed. And because a Mac will allow me to dual boot or to use parallels so I can still use VS and all my comfy-but-bloated apps I've come to lean on over the years. The question is, though: Which version of Parallels should I get? Desktop (basic version)? Desktop Premium (basic + 3 utilitis that seem, well, I dunno...) or Workstation (full VMs)?

Use Boot Camp and VS won't be so slow and you'll have Aero. Also, Chris loses all his man points for switcthing to a Mac and asking a question. :)
