[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 403794, member: 9385"] I bought Parallels at the same time as my Macbook, and while I have a Windows VM sitting out on the disk, the only time I fire it up is if I need to do remote work for my employer and my job-issue Dell is either not around or broken. Both situations are rare. The last time I fired it up was where I am now, which is an internet café while my wife shops. A couple of weeks ago I think. I only had my Macbook and was working remote, but didn't want to take two laptops. Today, I'm on vacation so I'm only using Mac OS X, which I do the vast majority of the time. It's nice to have, though. I also use it to show people that it can be done. Really, though, there's very little reason unless there is a particular app that doesn't exist in the Mac world. Come to think of it, I have one such app that doesn't have a very good counterpart: Delorme Street Atlas. Though I'm finding that Google Maps works pretty well so even then... [/QUOTE]
