tuaw.com — "Parallels Desktop is all the rage in Mac virtualization these days, but it doesn't offer one major feature (yet): the ability to run Vista on an Intel Mac (believe it or not, this will be useful to many a Mac user)."

I installed Q last night on my BlackBook. The install of XP took over 3 hours and then was just not usable. Way too slow. Emulation is not the way to go. I may end up having to fork over the cash for Parallels now that my trial is up.

I've never gotten Q to work. Ever.

Took the survey. Then didn't want to give Microsoft my PI because I don't trust it.

Why if Mac OS X is soooo amazing are there constantly articles on how to get Windows Vista (which according to Jobs is a copy of OSX) running on Mac hardware???

I'm sorry, but anyone stupid enough to install a beta version of Windows on ANY machine (virtual or not) deserves to get their hard drive wiped.

Why does a whole website (www.osx86project.org) exist for hacking OS X to make in run on a standard PC? At least apple is forthcoming in enabling mac users to run windows via an accepted means (Boot Camp). Windows users would rather run OS X illegally, and then come on forums and make like they don't do it and the mac sucks.The reality is that both systems are different, and pretty much the same. If I was truthful, I'd say that the mac is just "cooler". Windows is lame, with it's spyware, it's constant nagging, it's annoying interface jumping through 20 hoops just to change one preference item: (click Advanced..., click Advanced..., click Advanced..., then maybe you get to the option you want to change), trying to uninstall stuff and crap left all over your computer, etc. The mac isn't perfect, but it annoys me a whole lot less.

So what's the problem? Looks like Windows runs just as usual for you.
