[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 746234, member: 50033"] If I'm understanding you correctly, OS X would be the OS and XP would be run using Parallels/Fusion. When XP runs, it is basically "running in a window" just like any other application. You can resize it, minimize it, etc. The OS X desktop will still be visible behind it. The exception to this is when you choose to enter full-screen mode. In full screen, you will not be able to tell OS X is installed on the Mac be looking at the display. Windows takes up every pixel on the display. If you shut down XP, it doesn't turn off the computer. Windows logs off and the window that XP was running in closes (like when you quit any other application). OS X is still running and the desktop is still there ready to use. Hope this makes sense. I guess you can't think of XP as an OS while it is running in a VM. It's more like an application. You open it, use it, and then close it when you are finished--all the while OS X (the OS) never stops running. [/QUOTE]
