[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 463473, member: 21101"] Parallels is an OS X application and is installed on OS X the same way as any other. From here, it can either create a virtual drive on your HDD. From here you can share files and even applications bewteen the two Operating Systems very easily. An alternative is to rul Parallels from a Bootcamp install of Windows, although personally I think this is utterly pointless, unless you're switching from Bootcamp to Parallels permanently. Incidentally, as far as Windows is concerned, if you run it from Parallels AND Bootcamp, you are using two machines and will need to acitvate XP twice. [/QUOTE]
