Infinite MonkeysWow! I just got my new MacBook this morning. Spent the late afternoon and early evening loading it up. It's fast. Much faster than my 12" PowerBook that it replaced.
More importantly, through the miracle of Parallels Desktop for Mac and Symantec LiveState Recovery, I am now running Microsoft Windows XP in a virtual machine on my Mac, and that virtual machine is connected via VPN to my corporate network.
Yes, I know that was possible on my old G4/G5 Macs using Virtual PC, but the performance was UNBEARABLY slow. This is running, not only faster than Virtual PC, but faster than the very same VM was running in VMWare Workstation on my IBM ThinkPad T41p. And the process of moving that VM from the ThinkPad to my MacBook took less than 90 minutes, 60 of which were restoring the image over my 802.11g wireless network.
No, on to Boot Camp.
