MacBook video and a little Mech plug

I finally bit the bullet and bought one of those Intel MacBook thingies and started running XP in Parallels Desktop. I recorded it on screen and posted a video on youtube that includes a little plug for the Mech.

I like your impromptu IE7 review within your video

It seems like XP isn't really running "Parallel", but more like a program within the Mac OS... kind of like DOS Prompt within Windows 98..

It's running inside Parallels Desktop. http://www.parallels.com/ A virtual machine inside of OS X.

IE7 seems pretty good. The tab index is something that I'm sure Apple will copy in their next release of Safari.

Yes, I also liked the Tab index... it reminded me of the XP Powertool "Alt-Tab replacement"
