Did your hard drive partition to do this?

That said, I find Windows to be very awkward

...and, boy, is it butt ugly!

You never mentioned Parallels. I know about that.

Sorry, I didn't know that you knew. I believe there is another program, Fusion, that does the same thing.

Our daughter has been trying both systems at her work. Half the company is on PCs and the rest (the artsy types) are on Macs. I'm awaiting her verdict. She now has Parallels on her work station.

I will be interested in your experience. Thanks.

Yeah, virtualization is amazing!

http://www.virtualbox.org/

http://www.vmware.com/

http://xen.org/

http://www.linux-kvm.org/

et cetera

Btw, http://www.virtualbox.org/ is also available for Mac OS X. There's an open source VirtualBox version that's licensed under the GNU GPL, the license cost = free. So if you want to play around with virtual machines try VirtualBox.

I've been using VirtualBox for a few years now (running Linux under Windoze, as strange as that might sound!), and it works great. It's every bit as good (if not better) than similar commercial products.
