Thanks for the article link. I've worked with Parallels since version 3. When I'm feeling cranky about a VBox bug or inconvenience, I pause, fire up my Parallels 5 WinXP VM (which in itself allows for a nice coffee or restroom break) and marvel at the slowness. Then I'm back to VBox with a renewed appreciation of its snappiness! Features are nice but I'd rather have speed. . .
