Hi

I use Parallels on my Mac at home for both Windows XP and Ubuntu - it
works fine for me when running the more number-crunching parts of CCP4
- haven't really looked at graphics programs like Coot & MG.

At work I'm running VMWare (Workstation 6.0.0) on a Linux box for
Vista, and that, too, is fine.

If anyone from Redmond is reading this, both my Windows licenses are
legit.
