Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

So just when I was going to submit a review today, I noticed they came out with Beta 2. They've made some serious progress since the first Beta just a couple of days ago. Beta 1 was more of a preview/proof of concept, and a very promising one at that, but Beta 2 is now something that is functional and ready for actual use, albeit with some significant limitations that don't make it a suitable solution for everyone who needs to run Windows...mostly driver issues.

At any rate, this is going to be a really sweet product and they're offering it at a very decent price. This will definitely grease the wheels of the great switcher masses.

This software is not really Beta. It is still far away from being useable. No DVD-R /RW Support. No USB Support...
