While many people may indeed want to run video-heavy Windows software on a Mac, surely more people would be interested in running things like OfficeWin that aren't so video intensive. I'd be much more interested in benchmarks on things like that than virtualized QuickTime and Photoshop (which are already native on OS X on Intel). Cheers, Scott. native here may mean "Universal Binary".

By sheer coincidence, the undiscounted price of Parallels is also $79.99. I'd like to think that the Parallels People will raise their game now. (I agree with the comment that basically said "running PhotoShop in Parallels is stupid, why don't you test with what people are actually going to use, such as things that don't exist on OS X") Peter [link\|http://www.no2id.net/\|Don't Let The Terrorists Win] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!

No self respecting Apple owner would EVER do that. Its sacrilege. Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}
