I LOVE VIA!!!!BillytheImpaler said:Exactly. Fanboy-ism is silly. I use Linux, MacOS, and Windows on a daily basis. Occasionally I have the pleasure of working with Solaris and other more specialized systems. Computers are tools, plain and simple. If OS X does the best job for what I'm trying to do I'll use it. If it doesn't I won't; I'll use something that performs better.
The same goes for the squabbling sometimes found in hardware discussions. Some fans love AMD, some Intel (no one loves Via). Some love nVidia, some love ATi. It's silly not to just get the best available at the moment for the application at hand.
I had this problem when i first decided to get my macbook. My uncle phoned me telling me they are rubbish and can't do anything on them apart from write a word document and surf web. He says windows is better and that within a month i'd be selling it.

Does it still use as much ram or is it less? Sounds quiet good, think I might get on over there!

It still uses the same amount of RAM. You don't do anything different to setup the virtual machine, it just uses a 'trick' with the display adapter to make it look like each window on the windows desktop is a separate window on the OSX desktop. Sounds lame, but works rather well if you just run 1 or 2 Windows apps in parallels.

Sounds good though!! So you basicly get the best of both worlds, you can have the application like it would be with crossover if it actually worked or have the full screen windows!
Ideal, and who said macs were rubbish? Pah
Cheers Beepcake
I use windows normally but dabble in Linux every now and again and een considering BSD. Might get a mac when I go to uni though because they just look great. OSX is pretty cool too.
would have to run parallells or bootcamp though
