Parallels Workstation for Mac OS X
I downloaded Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta for Mac OS X the moment I saw the announcement. Installation and activation was simple - typical Mac package install.
I created a new virtual machine and installed RedHat 9 on it, using iso images rather than CD's. The documentation is a little vague on this: it's easy enough to point the VM at the frst CD iso image, but what do you do when the install asks for the second? No mention of that in the docs, but it's actually easy: click CTRL-ALT (to free your mouse), click Devices->CD-DVD/ROM-1 and choose Connect Image. Select your next iso from the browse window, then click back into the VM window and continue the install.
After the RedHat was up and running, I opened a new window to install Windows Xp. Everything crashed, and I couldn't get Parallels to start up again until I logged off and on again. After that, it started up fine. I reopened RedHat, created a new window, and started the Windows XP install from the physical CD.
