Virtual computing goes mainstream for all
,----[ Quote ]
| The ability to ‘play’ virtual machines and treat them like appliances that
| can be easily turned on and off has also become quite popular, allowing users
| to easily download, for example, a simplified version of Linux with enough
| power to run the Firefox browser, letting users surf sites in a safe,
| sandboxed environment that is separate to the rest of the user’s main
| operating system and desktop environment.

Parallels Desktop for Mac: getting better a little at a time
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, Parallels released an Update RC2 for Parallels Desktop for
| Mac. For the first time, the application is behaving nicely on my Mac.
| I have my full 3GB of RAM back, the application is running smoothly,
| and Windows XP and Ubuntu feel native on my machine. Vista? Slower,
| but improved over the previous builds of Mac Pro.
