Boot Camp, Parallels workstation
Two interesting products for MacOS X appeared this week - Apple's Boot Camp and Parallels' Workstation.
Boot Camp is Apple's answer to Microsoft's "we will not make Vista EFI-Compatible". It allows you to repartition your disk drive to make space for Windows XP and then it creates a helper CD with a set of drivers that allow XP to install on the new Intel-powered Macs. Brilliant.
Parallels workstation is the first virtualization software for Intel MacOS X. This way you can run Linux, OS/2 Warp and why not, Windows, as virtual machines on your Mac.
Both products are beta. Parallels' website was experiencing problems yesterday due to the high traffic.
