Has anyone tried the Parallels VM software (www.parallels.com) with Suse 10.0? If so, how does it do using WinXP as a guest operating system? I have installed it on my laptop and am installing XP right now. Seems to go pretty good, buy would like to hear anyone else's experience with it. Art

I have not taken this particular plunge yet, but I am very interested in virtualization for Mac Intel hardware. (Dual-boot, a la Apple's Boot Camp is a distant second in interest to me.) I'd really like to see VMware or Xen take this on, since I'm a little wary of a heretofore unknown company tackling such a challenging piece of software.

I know it's at best marginally on-topic here, but I'd love to hear your and other people's experience with virtualization on Intel Mac hardware. Perhaps there's a better forum?

Windows XP as such is working OK with it, but I can't get my wireless card to talk. They use a nifty scheme of IP-masquerading a virtual network card, but it mulishly refuses to ping anything but the virtual nic. Although people at parallels went out of their way to help me this hasn't resulted so far in a working wireless internet connection. In my particular situation this renders it useless, unfortunately.
