I've been using Dragstrip for years and have been quite happy with it. With the release of Leopard, I wanted to see if there were any compatibility issues. The only issue I think is that this product no longer exists. There is no sign of it anywhere on Allume's website (a lot of their internal links don't even work).

I posted in their support forum several years ago about an issue I was having -- there was never a response. The last update was 2003.

So I guess it's time to look at Dragthing. I hope it's as good as Dragstrip is.

I see these folks also make VMFusion; based on this experience, I'll be buying Parallels instead.

It's silly to constantly upgrade software to generate income, but I guess when you take it as far as it can (or should) go, then it's time to abandon it, no matter how good it is.
