"Once I got my hands on my new MacBook Pro, I did what mostly everybody else does - I bought a copy of Parallels Workstation for Mac. I need it mainly for running local servers so I can do demos of server environments etc.
For various reasons, we (Valtech) bought the license from the local retailer at the same time as the laptop. Big mistake. You see, if you buy Parallels from a local retailer in a non-english speaking country, you get a special, international, version."

"This is written on a spanking new MacBook Pro, the 2.33 GHz, 2GB version. Company issued, mind you. Now if that is not a good reason to work for Valtech, I do not know what is.
The main reason I upgraded from my trusty 1.67 GHz G4 PowerBook was not speed, it was the possibilities of Parallels. I do quite a bit of evaluating and demoing of server configurations, and having it all available locally is a complete killer."
