That's an awfully shortsighted statement.... The Mac Pro is already quad core and will undoubtedly hit 8 cores in the very near future. SMP support for the VM is absolutely imperative to the successful progression of virtual machines given that multi-core is the direction both Intel and AMD are...
The point being that an OS X version of VMWare Workstation will undoubtedly debut with the more of the useful features (real partition support for example) Parallels is only promising for future versions. I guess the point I was really trying to make is if you want to charge what VMWare does...
$10 cheaper then VMWare Workstation.... I've been a pretty avid supporter of Parallels, but at that price point I wont be recomending it to anyone without an immediate need before seeing what VMWare brings to the table.
Not at all suprising. Almost all software publishers have abandoned single user licensing models in favor of single computer licensing. I find zero irony in the fact that this changed gradually as multiple computers per user gradually became more common.
I currently have a 20" iMac Core Duo and I'm looking into replacing my 12" PowerBook with a 13" MacBook. Does the Parallels licensing scheme allow for installation on both a desktop and a laptop or must I purchase two copies?
Thanks!
Anyone pick one up yet? Virtualization enabled by default? I'm most likely going to replace my PBook G4, just curious what i'm getting into with parallels.
I have the problem in both fullscreen and windowed modes.
Also... I noticed the problem strangely close to when i ran the "Keyboard Update" from Apple if that's any help.
The only way i'm seeing this happen is if a company like Parallels (or even Parallels itself) gets bought up by Apple. Unfortunately, it appears that Apple would prefer to go the dual-boot route instead.
1) It's not wireless
2) I've got one here in my desk collecting dust because the scroll ball gets gummed up so easily it's virtually useless.
I'm think one of those ones from MacMice.
