Obviously, there are better Parallels machines than mine. More RAM would help (the MacBook supports another gigabyte beyond my configuration, and the 588 MB of RAM I've allotted to XP could be bumped up accordingly). A MacBook Pro or other Mac with a dedicated video card might speed desktop rendering, though to be fair the display is virtualization in software anyway, so it's unclear how much that would help. Overall, Parallels is surprisingly nice and it's certainly inexpensive. It can't replace Boot Camp for day-to-day work, at least not on my system. So once again, reality gets in the way of hype. But don't be discouraged: Parallels is still the best virtualization solution on the Mac by far, and it's about on par with more mature Windows-based solutions. That, certainly, is worthy of praise.
