Add the default<\/em> OS (OSX) and that’s seven<\/strong> OS variations to play with all in all. Here’s what my Parallels folder looks like as of the moment.<\/p>\n First is a typical XP session I like to have, no visual themes, etc. Just plain ‘ol “classic” desktop to save on resources. I have a similar setup on my main PC as well as XP 64-bit. Come to think of it, maybe I should try installing XP64 on Parallels as well, who knows.<\/p>\n You can also see a bunch of Office 2007 apps running. Definitely look better. Still undecided on their new menu system though, unless you have a huge montir, I’m inclined to think that those menu bars can make your experience a “crowded” one.<\/p>\n Below we have Vista, running the IE7 and WMP11. Shows the sidebar, and the start menu as well. The sidebar, while cool-looking still is far from Apple’s dashboard. Just try dragging the gadgets around and you’ll see what I mean. As far as the start menu is concerned, that’s it. Gone are the days of cascading start menu items. I actually like it. And of course having Spotlight,<\/em> I mean LiveSearch<\/em> intergrated is always a good thing for the end user.<\/p>\n And of course below we have the picture of an Ubuntu session, which I used for the post right before this. Only thing worth noting here is that its running on the MacBooks native resolution (1440×900), this can be achieved by a little bit of modifications after the install.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/121\/298559310_2759ef67c7_o.jpg\")
