Hi Folks,
Anyone know if I can run Parallels Desktop Mac 5 on OS X Snow Leopard Server?
I know Parallels make a Mac OS X Server product, but I'm interested in whether their desktop product will install and run fine.
Thanks, Alex

I'm curious for all your Mac users out there which virtualization software you use and why? I've been a VM Ware user for Windows for years and have been running Parallels on my Mac (mainly because VM Ware was in Beta when I got Parallels).
