But then it wouldnt be genuine and I might have problems in registering the programmes and getting updates, no?

no problem 1. The updates is usually download the whole darn thing, .dmg. So you need to reinstall or upgrade it. Another thing is if u using P version, just get the serial and you ready to go. Again, it is not right la for P version.

erm....P version? What's that?

He probably meant the ahem version.

p version, ahem version oh .........

din vote since havent tried parallels yet.. and lazy to try parallels.. i think both have their own pros and cons.. y not you google the reviews out there? they do have in-depth analysis and comparison on both.

i dont think its a problem if getting a "P" version.. just get it again when there's a new update.. but i dont recommend ppl who own a company using "P" version, u'd get into some serious trouble.

Btw, please don't think about MBP component on 12". It will never happen due to over-heating and power consumption. And if u want it to be slimmer somemore, dedicated graphic card cannot go in. In other words, it will be ultra-low end of MB. I suggest you get MBP if you are into graphic work environment.

yea.. it is a MUST to get a legal copy. For home usage, how cares..

Can someone explain what are P version and ahem version please?

lol, P version and ahem version are the same thing... poor you don understand what we're saying..

i m using ahem versions on my macbook GMA950...
both parallel n fusion....but i am happy with fusion after few months and i uninstalled parallel...
although there are some features that parallel has which fusion has not...

it means Pirated la.. Illegal copies.. Get it?

Yea.. Parallels features like read/write your vhdd without booting in your virtualization software and it allows to open either mac application or windows application.

Ah, I see. the P - Pirated version...but I had a few bad experience with pirated softwares and it's such a turn off, kind of worry.

So with fusion or parallels, one software for only one Mac right?

i haven't see any ahem ahem version software for mac

yes, but it depends again... for me, i use leopard 99% n window 1% (transfer files to friends' ext HDD (NTFS format))...so i dont need parallel features that much...on top of that, vm startup is faster than parallel...

i try as much as i can to avoid windows..huhu...(bill gates ciplak all the GUI from mac back then)

actually , from what i know , Bill Pagar get his idea for GUI ,from Xerox company. At that time , Apple Lisa still lack of icon.

Below is the Xerox desktop




above of all , Bill Pagar still copy-cat other ppl's masterpiece .

How come change topic oredi?

BTW i know alot about GUI war from directory Pirates Of Silicon Valley and Triumph Of The Nerds

yea.. but you need to know that. What we now living, most of the things are copies then improve it. Copy-cat is one of the art skill. If you know what i mean..

PS: I not siding on Bill Pagar.

hey, im using parallels now.. i think parallels really suits my needs.. for example i only use XP for playing games.. so whenever i've downloaded games from the internet with mac os transmission, i'll need to transfer the setup files to XP hard drive.. cause parallels has this thing called Explorer that allows you to write to XP HD without actually booting XP

parallels also has this thing called SmartSelect thingy that allows you to open xp files with mac applications and vice versa.. i need this since the wmplayer for mac is not fully supported to open certain wmv videos.. so i need to use wmp for win to open certain videos located in my mac HD

so my recommendation is this, if you rarely use you XP for doing documents, etc (stuff only windows can do), u should use parallels.. if u do though, consider fusion since fusion runs faster(2x faster than parallels since it can support multi processors) but it cannot do the things i've mentioned above though.

also, i do know that parallels cant support bluetooth,win aero glass, 3d not so good.. but hey, i've already got the best OS in the world, y would i need to run Win to do stuffs like bluetooth, webcam for me? the only thing really worth to get win for me is because i get to play games that suc in mac

i hope this gives you an idea on which one to use.
