I purchased my English verson online from their US site -- they are talking about licenses for localised versions of Parallels (UK, German, French, Spanish, etc.)]]>Feb 4th 2007 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/Feb 4th 2007 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/Feb 4th 2007 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
Because we're sometimes forced to use the odd application, but don't want to be bogged down with the whole mess. I'm not completely anti-windows yet, but running a mac is a *lot* less hassle right now for most tasks.]]>Feb 4th 2007 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
Because they want it to run on their Mac.

Next time you run a piece of shareware, think, why dont you just buy it, why bother with a trial? next time you run some freeware, think, why should you use freeware, why dont you go and buy a costly alternative?

No, You wouldnt, would you. Why?
Because if you already have something that can do something already, your not going to go and buy an expensive alternative.]]>Feb 4th 2007 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
It would seem reasonable to me if one OS can be installed on another platform the same should be true of the other OS.

That would certainly let both Manufacturers slug it out with there product OS in an aequal arena either on their homeplaying field platform or the away teams platform.

I can see the bookies out there giving odds right now on the home and away games (mac osx vs win vista). Would the native platform the Windows PC for windows garner Vista an edge over OSX and vice-versa would the native platform the Apple Mac garner OSX an edge over Windows Vista.

Or would one completely rule over the other?

This is a great feature that delivers an exponential increase in utility. Can't wait till that feature also support Vista.]]>Feb 4th 2007 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/I don't think it's stupid to have a machine that can run almost all the OS out there....
the mighty Mac OSX , Linux, Solaris and even Windows.
And you know what? those machines are not that very expensive the way most of closed minded PC users want to believe...]]>Feb 4th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/Feb 4th 2007 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
Allowing OSX to be installed on commodity PCs would mean that they would sell fewer Macs (as people almost always go for the cheapest possible price, and the cheapest PCs are cheaper than the cheapest Macs), so why would they do this?

You can install OSX on PCs, but not legitimately or legally.]]>Feb 5th 2007 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
Well Windows is made to work with thousands and thousands of different pieces of hardware. The Mac OS is only meant to work with a few because everything Mac is standardized. Therefore putting Windows onto a Mac would be a lot easier then putting Mac OS onto a PC.

It may be possible though, but you could get many of the benefits of OS X that Windows doesn't have on Linux anyways... ]]>Feb 4th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/Though it doesn't seem that anyone here is really eager to correct you so relax.
And yes "spelt" is a word. But you enclosed it in single quote marks, which is grammatically wrong. Single quote marks are for quotations within quotations. ]]>Feb 4th 2007 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
Anyway - here's something interesting. I have both BootCamp and Parallels installed on my Mac (needed for demonstration purposes). So, I needed to install two instances of Windows with the same serial number. When I tried to register the second copy, of course, it wouldn't - citing the fact that that serial number had already been registered. I read the MS license which says "one license per computer". Well, I still only had one computer. So I called the Microsoft registration number, explained the situation, and they gave me the second registration. At least in my case,

1 Computer + 2 Instances of Windows = 1 Registration]]>Feb 5th 2007 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/04/parallels-desktop-for-mac-beta-build-hits-release-candidate-2/
