I want to hear people's thoughts on the virtualization/dual-boot revolution that's been going on over the past few weeks?

What have you tried? Is it working?

How do you feel about the whole thing?

I'm using Boot Camp on my 2GhZ MacBook Pro...all there is to say is that i LOVE it

a small update for all the people who ware wondering: I received my 17" MacBook Pro with the 2.16GhZ processor in the mail today and i should have Boot Camp installed on it by this evening and i will tell all of you if it's any better with a bigger screen and a bit faster processor.

i have a buddy at Apple who said he could get me a 15" MBP cheap and let me trade up to the 17" when it came out so he send me the 17" when it came out and tomorrow, i have to send him back the 15"...and yes, as of RIGHT now, i have 2 MBP's

has anybody downloaded parallels beta 5 and tried the USB support?

I actually dont buy apple because they are a bigger monopoly than ms.....

But i have mac os running on 4 homebuilt pcs...... all drivers are detected....except for sound blaster.....and monitor........
I have to rewrite some openBSD drivers......and modify some old apple crt drivers...
For the sound blaster.....mac never supported it, but linux did...and so its a start...
SB live should be supported by mac....but i have an audigy platinum ex....
And then there is the controller card for my sataII....which mac also doesnt support....but promise has open source drivers.....

All smb mounts work and such...and mac interfaces very well with my windows network.....just like my linux boxes do....
