Running Windows on my Mac — Thanks Parallels!
Is work “work” when it’s fun? Three words: Parallels is amazing.
Tonight I configured Parallels so I can launch and run Windows on my Mac. Have I said “amazing” yet?
It was super cool to watch the install process in a “window” on my Mac. And then when I heard the famous Windows first-launch start up sound on my MacBook speakers, I was grins from ear to shining ear.
Amazing…it’s all I can say. Who would want to “boot” into Windows when you can run it side-by-side with Mac OS X?
I’m sharing screenshots like crazy tonight. Sorry for the space, but please do enjoy!
Funny to see “DOS-like” stuff on OS X.

more to what looks like “digital paper.”
