It's great at what it does, I admit. My problem lies in it's functionality. The fact it creates and runs virtual machines (a la the recently deceased VirtualPC) is alright, but (sadly) the majority of mac users who wish to use Windows want it for the single advantage Windows has over Mac OSX: Games.

Because of this, the majority of Mac-Windows users will still be forced into a dual-boot solution or into purchasing an entire other computer for which to dedicate to the cause. (reasons being speed and ability. can't even run games without the proper drivers) If Parallel's hopes to be desired in situations like this, I suggest they find a way to compete directly or work with the existing solutions.

Examples:

<b>1</b> - Run a Bootcamp Partition via Parallel's - This would allow dual-booters access to all their (non-graphically intensive) applications and files without the need to reboot, and without the need to install a SECOND copy of Windows on their machine.

<b>2</b> - (I am sure this is in the works but..) Direct X / Graphics Drivers / Etc - The ability to play games at decent speeds via virtualization (or otherwise).. (But if you were to do this, then you would also need to do #3:)

<b>3</b> - The ability to put OSX into sleep mode, as to have all processing / graphics power dedicated to Windows - Fairly self-explanitory. =P

If Parallels could pull off these three features, I'm sure it would find itself in the spotlight for years to come. (pun intended.) ;)
