Has anyone run the Windows Client under the Apple Windows virtual machine "Parallel"? We have a pending sale which hinges on this. The owner does not want to part with his Mac.

Hi Lewis
Recent communication with a potential customer running 8 networked MAC's and a standalone windows PC with Sage indicated that Parallels runs a dual platform with XP Pro.
The response from Pro IV was that it appears to be a true Virtual Machine engine (from the Parallels web site).
On Linux AND Windows it's becoming common to use VMware for Virtual Machines. It's not an emulator but a computer running within a computer effectively.
Pro IV operates (and is supported on) Windows XP so it should operate ok within Parallels.
Pro IV couldn't guarantee 100% as they don't test all hardware or virtual machines and they also pointed out that in effect two computers are running (on one) so performance may be degraded (especially with resource hungry XP).
That's all I've got - sorry - good luck

No Problem - shame there wasn't more concrete info.
If you go ahead - let us know how it goes.
I'll do the same.

G'Day Lew,
I've just joined the 'Dark Side' and purchased a Mac PRO. I will get the parallel stuff to have a look, but can confirm that the kernel & client work as expected using VMWare Fusion.
Cheers,
Terry
