Why walk on water when you can part the seas?

Now that Apple's switch to Intel processors is a fait accompli, we might as well leverage our new Macintosh hardware to greatest effect.

Mac users in a mixed plaform workplace inevitably run into one Windows app we can't get around, and we've always had to resort to Windows emulators -- memory hogging programs like VirtualPC or SoftWindows that painstakingly re-map Intel-targeted processor instructions to Motorola or PowerPC instructions. However well-intentioned, Windows emulation has been a slow and unpleasant experience.

Parallels Desktop ushers in a new era of Windows compatibility without opcode emulation and without rebooting. This is the first Mac product to create a Windows session that uses native instructions -- plus it lets you share clipboard data and documents between the MacOS and the Windows session without resorting to network drives.

I've got an evaluation copy on my desk now that I haven't installed yet, but I'm willing to predict this with fair certainty: I will be getting rid of that PC in my office very soon.
