I <a href="http://www.astrogoth.com/node/740" rel="nofollow">timed installing setting up and installing Windows XP</a> on my duo mini, and it was amazing. I also did a quick DSLReports.com benchmark to see if it was dog slow on networking, but it surprised me there, too. As you noticed, the only "disappointment" (other than not being able to buy it) so far is the single-processor presentation in XP. I don't know if that's one of the things that will change once it's out of Beta, but then again, it keeps the system usable. No matter how bad XP gets, at least one core will be able to manage the mouse, keyboard, and command-Q! Holy diamonds, it’s amazing.

I don't see Parallel's product getting widespread use in the Windows world, but I see it getting massive use in the Mac one. Apple seems to promote the new and cool faster than the more conservative Windows universe, particularly technologies developed and promoted by Intel. The early adoption of USB in the original iMac, and the use of EFI in the latest Macs are examples. When Intel would come out with something cool, it has always had to go to Microsoft and the PC manufacturers and ask them to change their ways, often with lukewarm or no support. Now, with Apple, Intel can quickly showcase new technologies in real-world products, and prod the rest of the computing world to improve itself.
