> Virtualization for the (Intel) Mac?
> -----------------------------------
> Techworld.com reports that a company called Parallels
> will be announcing their virtualization product for
> Intel-based Macs later this week.
>
> According to a company representative, "We will
> enable users to run multiple operating systems (like
> Linux and Windows) simultaneously with Mac OS X".
>
> This is distinct from the dual-boot solutions that
> have been previously described. Instead, users can
> run these alternative operating systems in a window
> under Mac OS X.
>
> Several have suggested that this functionality could
> increase Apple's marketshare with businesses and
> consumers alike. WSJ Online notes that Japan's Aozora
> Bank Ltd. is already making the move to all Mac. They
> are planning to switch all 2,300 of their personal
> computers to Mac. The bank cites the strength of Mac
> OS X alone as the reason for their switch. Other
> surveys, however, have suggested that a large number
> of consumers would switch to Mac if also given the
> ability to run Windows easily.
>
> More details on Parellels" solution should be
> available later this week. Microsoft has been said to
> be working on an Intel-version of Virtual PC as well,
> but no timeframe has been given.
