Virtual Machines

The release of Parallels 3.0 has been a day that I’ve been waiting for. Since the first time I was exposed to virtualization of operating systems, I’ve hoped that one day I would be able to run Windows as a virtual machine, and still be able to play all the games I love. Half-Life 2 is close to playable at 10-20 FPS in a Parallels virtual machine running on my Macbook Pro. Quake 4 looks like it runs even better. I’ll post a video if I ever end up getting my mac pro (and if I get enough time to actually do anything besides work).
