You had to include a line fom my English class in a blog post – ingenious! (Macbeth is one evil tradgedy I tell ya.)

Anyway, I doubt Aero Glass will work under the VM environment – correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi Michael,

Parallels is promising a release later this year that supports Aero! For right now, no go though.

I had to have XP with my Parallels.

I’m pretty sure I like Vista over Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows ME. Call me a traitor, but I actually like Vista – we’ve got it running on my son’s mega system and Aero is awesome. The OS is rock solid as well, we’ve never had an issue.

I’ve never had any issues with Vista either. I don’t see what all the fuss is about.

A couple of years ago, I stopped having trouble with Windows XP. It only took a simple fix; removing the power plug and hiding the ugly grey box in a corner. A dark, dark corner.
Just before x-mas I really wanted to try a program that only worked on Window. After about 8 hours of bug-fixing, trying to re-install WinXP, I was greeted with such an unintuitive program interface, that I abandoned the whole project together, and paid happily a much larger sum for a Mac program that actually works.
