Parallels Desktop for OS X Reviewed

phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has put up a great review of the first full release of Parallels' virtualization software for OS X, Parallels Desktop 1.0. From the article: 'Move over emulation, virtualization is in and it's hotter than two Jessica Albas wresting the devil himself in a pit of molten steel. It's no contest, virtualization has it all: multiple operating systems running on the same machine at nearly the full speed of the host's processor with each system seamlessly networking with the next. Add to that the fact that it's cheaper than getting a new machine and you have the guaranteed latest craze. Not even the Hula Hoop can stop this one.'"

my colleagues and i are going write our own linux distro, focusing on performance, security, and scalability. plan on running all of your future apps on our new distro, codenamed 'badger'. but we are caught by one stumbling block? should we use vi and emacs? and what is the minimum memory to run tux? help us and you won't be sorry. btw, does you need a pc or a mac to run linux fastest? what language is the most lowest leve source in? how can we contribute the fixes we will no doubt need to make? what else do we need to know to make 'badger' a success!!!!!!!!

Wake me up when ...

Wake me up when someone runs OS X seamlessly on a stock PC!

Beware the Intel T2300E - and Dell!

Beware the Intel T2300E processor - and Dell! Intel still sells processors both with and without their Virtualization Technology, and Dell has performed an absolute Bait & Switch (see link) with some of their notebooks. You need the right processor for this to run correctly -- Intel or AMD -- and you need a vendor you can trust!

Yes, Dell, these things do make a difference!
