This week
This week is definitely a week of firsts. A day after Apple announcing their Bootcamp solution for booting Windows XP on a Mac, Parallels, announced that they are releasing a public beta of "Parallels Workstation" for OS X. It claims to be the first Hypervisor-powered Desktop Virtualization Solution. In layman's terms, it means that this software will take advantage of Intel's new VT enhancements and will be able to run multiple OSes in near native speeds.
I'm currently running Parallels right now and just finished installing WinXP, and I tell you, it does run at native speed! As a matter of fact, WinXP boots in about 4 seconds. So far, network and video works good, I haven't played with the sound yet.
Once the full version of this software comes out, I'm definitely buying it! $50, well worth it! Which reminds me, better buy me some stocks of this company.
Speaking of stocks, Apple's stock rose 9% higher yesterday at closing after announcing Bootcamp, and rose another 6.99% today after Parallel's solution was announced.
