I've been running windows 7 for my classes in Parallels, but Parallels 7
has been problematic. After exiting parallels, a process is left running
that consumes about 70+% of the CPU. I need to submit a bug report for this.
I should probably take a look at Fusion, to see if ti is any better.

This is why I opted for Crossover, it's much less demanding on the CPU.

As I mentioned, the biggest limitation is not having the Coco-PC key
mappings for VCC.

>>Probably more reliable, but "brew install wine" is just so much *easier*
(>>though I don't know about the install process for Crossover).
The problem with any brew package is you are likely to need to install so
many other dependencies, which can break other things that are already
installed an running.
