I'd like to convert a Parallels Virtual Machine image on my mac into an image usable by Virtual PC 2007. Does anyone know how to do that, or if it is possible?

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

You can run Parallels to a Mac mini if you try to do it with the Parallels Desktop and I would not assume it'll be reliable enough for virtualizing servers.....
Answer right there, but you can always download the trial and see if it works .

What would be the best way to go about taking a regular copy/image/whatever of a live (Ubuntu LTS Hardy) server, so that I can run it as a local test and backup environment within Parallels.
More detail:
I have a live web server, hosted on Ubuntu, accessible...

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).
I'm curious...

Range of platforms, chances are pretty good that there's a VMware image we've already got lying around Fusion can use a Boot Camp partition .

Something is clearly wrong with my setup but nothing I've tried seems to fix it. Whenever I launch Windows under Parallels, everything slows to a crawl. Windows is barely usable and even the Mac side slows down too. Same results on a 3ghz imac and 2.3...

2 GB of RAM is in my oppinion to less to really work productive on both in parallel.
There are two very important things:

:) There was a hack....
Hoping it's VERY soon.
Parallels will have to play a little catch up.
Parallels Service" has again to be put into the folder /library/parallels
(Image 1)
this because Mountain firmware that's the issue.

Why I want firewire support in parallels

This feature would be nice for parallels!
Personally for my Movie cam when I want to directly import clips software.

Have got an old version of parallels on this mac. it won't run under OS X lion so I want to get rid of it for the time being. What's the easiest way to achieve this and get rid of the windows file that it creates?
Thx in advance.

Removing the app won't remove....
Unless youdelete the app (in your app directory) and the windows image (most likely in your documents it.
I'd think twice about deleting the Windows image.
Directory, possibly in a Parallels sub-folder.

Has anyone used both of these? Is one clearly superior to the other? I notice they are the same price. Any pros and cons?

VMWare tends to be more polished and have fewer annoyance bugs but, currently, Parallels....
And now I use Parallels again.
Originally I went with Parallels since.
I've used each and currently use Parallels.
Is a useful advantage.
