Subject: more on Initial experience with Win XP VM with Parallels  
Desktop for [Intel] Mac

One thing that I forgot to add:

TRANSFERRING OBJECTS BETWEEN THE MAC AND THE VM:  Parallels makes it  
really easy, once you read the f#*%()!@g manual.  All you have to do  
is set up one or more folders that are seen in common by both OS's.  
Then, anything that you drop into one is available to the other. This  
includes .exe files that you can download in the Mac and open in  
Windows, for example.  Or image files (.jpg, .gif, etc.), or .pdfs.  
So, you don't have to risk downloading unseen malware into your  
Windows environment (unless, of course, the object you download is  
itself infected); you can download it with a Mac browser and then  
drop it into the shared window.  Also, text snippets copied to the  
clipboard freely transfer between the two environments.

If you have to use Windows for some reason, this can be a really  
liberating experience!
