EULAs

Parallels is making it around some news sites today, for mainly two reasons:

  1. Parallels 2.5 RC2 is out and brings again some improvements, and
  2. Microsoft’s VISTA EULA forbids running of Windows Vista Home versions in virtualization environments such as Parallels, while allowing an install under BootCamp. Isn’t that weird? Btw, Apple’s EULA apparently contains very similar things about virtualization of Mac OS X…

After the update of my Parallels installation I found out that in Coherence mode I can drag&drop files between Windows Explorer and Mac OS X Finder even from and to external drives not visible in Windows. Pretty cool, didn’t know it before. I always shut down Windows, added the drives to my Parallels Windows set-up and rebooted Windows again to access them.
