iMac

pretty much the same here.
I have movies on my notebook and mp3's on my desktop, (recent upgrade to about 600Gig
I rigged the desktop to play audio n video to play through the cat5 points to the cinema room, it's a bit bodgy but it works.
When I want/need to it's played from one or the other to either the projector and/or the audio system, been like that for a few years now, works a treat.

CD's what are they? ;)

not on the latest versions i checked out ... most definetly not on my imac thats for sure. just went thru the process for a client.

one thing i didnt get a chance to checkout was whether vmware could use your bootcamp partition as well like parallels can... might look at that in the next day or two if i get a chance...

Ah ha!

I haven't looked at Parallels vs VM Ware for a few months now but when I looked at it last (Oct 07 IIRC) VM Ware use both cores in the processor where as Parallels didn't.

Boot camp & VM Ware... Pass. TBH - It's not something I've really thought about but now that you've mentioned it, it makes perfect sense. I usually run as much as I can natively and then shell out for the few things I can't.

BTW - I don't know if you've already found it but I find John Rizzo's site MacWindows to be very useful.

Lol, Mac will run Windows, windows won't run Mac software

Windows software designed only for PC so does that make it standalone by your definition.
