Obviously some people don't like it that way, and Apple has provided you with a preference...
This is the final thing that made me use parallels.. I have a BootCamp installation, although i rarely boot into it, but i would rather have that, than a parallels sole windows installation, because of the full graphic card support. And two installtions isn't an option due to my small macbook harddisk. To me the best part is that i can now boot my BootCamp installation whilst in OS X... But I am sure that the integration between OS X and Windows is a very good step for using this technology in a more daily use..Here is a screenshot of my website being tested in Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox at the same time ^^,<a class="user" href="http://trylleklovn.net/stuff/screenshots/mac/websitetest.png">http://trylleklovn.net/stuff/screenshots/mac/websitetest.png</a>
I took mine apart and no hammering is necessary, but you'll definitely need to remove the battery and about 12-15 screws. Real men unplug and re-plug their MacBook keyboard while the machine's on. The reason they do so isn't to make Parallels work though, it's so they can keep the battery in, the machine on, and see the screen while they code in assembly using magnets on the HD platters directly below the keyboard. I usually like to spin my HD and DVD drives manually as well.
Use versions compiled for Mac OS X and run them in the native X11 environment instead. I love linux, it rules my servers and used to rule my desktop as well. BUT, I don't really see any need for Parallels to make this work with linux/bsd/whatever's X environment because most of the time Mac versions are available, whether X11 or Quartz. For me the Windows integration is infinitely more useful and I imagine that it's the same for 95% of Parallel's customers. What Parallels really needs for Linux VMs are their tools to share a clipboard and have the mouse move in and out of the VM window seamlessly.
The Apple/Command key has a freakin' apple on it, so of course people will call it the apple key.No it's not interchangeable with control, except now on Windows under Parallels it IS, which is why it's a new feature.

What the...?I'm guessing English is a second language to you... or you're just really stupid.

Actually no their right. I have to re-activate every time I switch from parallels and bootcamp.
