Getting from There to Here

Parallels Transporter seems to be extraordinarily elegant and works without second guessing. Installed on new laptop and started creating VM and walked away. About an hour later copied the 7.9GB VM to MacBook Pro and launched. There was an ignorable warning about hardware related tools (expected - some warning about Toshiba services).No relicensing popups for OS or apps. Everything just seems to work. VM launches in about 30 seconds.

Very approachable solution to working from approved/corporate configuration.

Two. Two. Two laptops in one.

Still using / testing VMWare. All's well.

Hey Phil. Been looking at the new Fusion 2 Beta. Their support for DirectX seems pretty good. It causes some problems on the MacPro, but on my MacBookPro it works great. It supports Dx9 and OpenGL, so it works well with both Revit & Max. I'm thinking of switching once the beta is over...
