[Year 12 IT Apps] virutalising in MAC OS

[Adam Barbary]

Have tried both Parallels and VMware Fusion. I decided to go with  
Fusion, it seems to have an edge with performance. My IT department  
opted to spend money on a multi user license to cover all the Mac  
Users, can't complain about that.. Set your XP VM at 512MB, any more  
and the time to start and save increases. Check with your IT  
department as to the licensing issue for XP. If they don't have a site  
license that you can be covered by, Win XP used to cost around $35 for  
a teacher. To boost your Mac, may I suggest you max out your RAM, it  
is $100 well spent.
