Seems much more stable, faster booting, better USB function, easy to have multiple OS environments installed (XP, 7, etc) in a smaller footprint on your hard drive and it also is not as much of a resource hog as Parallels was. I don't use it much, but VM works well.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've got two disk images. One with Windows XP Home and a second with Windows 7 via their free sign download program which is now closed. My Win7 will expire next year unless I purchase. I'll admit that Win7 is a slick operator and quite snappy.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
