    maybe I'm wrong but can't you not boot Mac and Windows on these machines without this software, with the new Apple Dual Boot software?

    Not excatly sure of your question. You can use Parallels as long as you have an intel powered Mac and use OS X and Windows simultaneously. With Apple's Boot Camp, you can only boot one OS at a time. does this answer your question?

    do you like it?
    how do you find the performance of windows apps?
    would you reccommend it?

    i like it greatly. my XP machine boots in about 15 seconds: faster than it used to on my toshiba laptop. pretty incredible.

    I would def recommend it, but I'll warn you to be patient w/ certain USB devices, as some take a little tweaking to work correctly in a VM.

    is the lack of a right click not seriously hindering usability? (in xp)

    ctrl + click = problem solved.

    Or of course, plug in a mouse!
