Running (almost) anything on my Mac
So, I've been using the free Parallels Desktop trial for a few days.
I don't know if it would be worthwhile to regular people, but as a developer it's awesome.
I've been trying to get this Jython program to work in Windows, but it was failing mysteriously.
Then I realized I don't have Java installed (Jython is Python for the JVM) -- but if I'm right, I'll want to see that the error message gets better for non-java users.
So, I just finished making a "pre-java" clone of my Windows VM.
I could have 5 different configurations of Windows (and Linux) on this thing, and the only limiting factor is disk space! I can actually test programs on multiple platforms without having several computers -- without even having to reboot!
