first,
shite and steak, all on one computer
Hey if this sells Macs and gets them into diehard PC fans then I’m all for it.
For the times when I feel like running my Pinto and my Porsche at the same time.

Just say no to XP. Life is much less complicated that way.
WOW how do we know this isnt just a G5 imac running the PC emualtion program.?? looks like a fake to me!!
i wouldnt feel like a real man with a dock that tiny
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” /> – so whats so interesting here anyway, very boring videos, not even any eye candy cube changeovers.
XP: for the people who’s lives don’t suck quite enough yet.
Thanks for the awesome article, MDN
My friend was trying to get Eclipse to run on his 17″ MacBook Pro, and it kept freezing up Mac OS X. Finally he just rebooted into Windows XP and Eclipse is working great. Now he can get work done.
What do you think of that, MDN?
Totally fscking lame
Why was Mac OS X looking so lifeless?
And of course it was running slow as sheeite becaue of the lame ass dual core iMac.
SO he put the Windows crap on another monitor, bit frigging deal, it’s not like we are actually going to use Windows.
FASCK this guy I wannan kick his ass.
Nick,
Your a tool! Eat shit and die,
re: deadculture (.org)
Indeed.

Eat shit and die?
Haven’t heard an insult like that, since… well 1989.
MDN: who are you?
Well, unfortunately I have to run AutoCad. I got a cheap OEM Windows XP -SP2 license for $70 bucks for my iMac. (paying any money for windblows is like paying a $200 traffic ticket.) But is is cheaper and much faster than buying a cheap PC. The virtual machine runs AutoCad faster than any PC I’ve ever used – pentiums mainly. I’d imagine that Boot Camp would be even faster. But one windblows installation is more than I can stomach, so I did not even go that route.
All things considered, I think Parallels did a pretty good job. Kind of amazing really when you think about the Mac and windblows history. Ugghh, now I feel kind of dirty inside. I’d better go take a shower.
But will you really die? Really nauseated and possibly a staph infection. Maybe, but die?
Exciting as watching paint dry.
The videos can be summed up in a sentence:
XP runs on Mac via Paralles Workstation running on OS X.
That was worth 20MB of video…
A picture says a thousand words… but that was pretty lame. This is kinda old news anyway.
Sorry mate, but next time show something interesting like playing a networked game on the two machines.
Anything has to be more exciting than watching Windows XP boot, even if it is on a Mac.
Big deal, we all know Apple is only really about iPods and shoes.
MDN:
Can’t you post to youtube.com and link instead of only having a download available?
I’m all in favor of Parallels and everything but… can someone tell me what the fsking point of this video is? Am I missing something?
“can someone tell me what the fsking point of this video is?”
A bandwidth test?

Mac users are the best. I hope you are enjoying Photoshop in Rosetta, by the way.
“XP: for the people who’s lives don’t suck quite enough yet.”
ROTFLMAO! Perfect!
“XP: for the people who’s lives don’t suck quite enough yet.”
I wholeheartedly agree! Bravo! If I had a hat, it would be off to Carlo. Take a bow!
Boring…
