Careful Mr PPrune Towers....I'm still out here, and still chipping away at the chip on my shoulder :-)

Interesting that comments like "slightly more STABLE and faster than Parallels" and "when he wants to run Windows natively for the extra speed and STABILITY"....suggests, like I have experienced, that trying to work with Mac-heads using this Win emulator is not all sunshine and roses.

For example, one of the many many times when Safari was found to be so cr@p that they had to use IE in this Win emulator they faced a(nother) funny problem.....I asked why they kept the emulator window (and hence the IE window inside it) only partially filling the Mac screen, they told me that the emulator could not (or does not) work properly when used in full screen mode. And don't try blaming the Web Application in question, or IE, as both worked fine on a genuine Win platform.

There they were on their wacky Mac platform using the horizontal and vertical scroll bars like crazy every time they needed to type something in or get to a button that was at the bottom of a web page.

And to add insult to injury, I just bought a LaCie External Hard Drive, with a bloody MAC FILESYSTEM preinstalled on it, you can imagine my joy at that moment

They are out to get me.....
