I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but believe it! Apple sells hardware! OS X is not the bread and butter of the company, OS X makes their hardware look good. CNN doesn’t seem to get it. Granted, it will be hard for OS X not to run virtually anytime soon (it’s already been done anyway) but I can assure you this will be without Apple’s blessing no matter how “strategic” you may think it is. And I would be willing to bet that VMWare will have OS X running in a VM before Parallels. People also seem to forget that VMWare has been doing this alot longer than Parallels - VMWare’s first beta had USB 2.0, iSight and Bluetooth support while Parallels is falling behind. If it were up to me, save your money kids and wait for VMWare to finish their product. You will not regret it.
