Does the boot camp thing make Windows XP puke with that genuine advantage
thing?  i tried the boot camp way and when I rebooted out of boot camp
after installing/updating it disabled my copy of windows and I had to call
someone after booting it up inside parallels.  So I went the non-boot camp
route.

Didn't know about the 3D acceleration on the mac side on VMware
Workstation, as I said, back when I bought it, didn't have it/didn't talk
about it much.  VMware hadn't even released a beta and when I asked my
VMware folks they couldn't tell me anything about it even under NDA.

I didn't compare the features on windows/linux since I don't run
windows/linux at the core, I run Mac OS X.
