This post was published 3 years 10 months 24 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.How does fast user OS switching sound on a Intel Mac? I think it sounds just dreamy. Check the video out. Everything runs so smoothly. Must add to wishlist.
How’d he do that?
It’s an OSX desktop running Parellels – which allows you to virtualize multiple OS’s – and a virtual desktop app. The individual simply assigned a different operating system to each virtual desktop. The hotkey for swapping desktops allows for fast switching between different operating systems.
i was looking at selling my new core duo acer laptop for a macbook pro and this display of multi os trickery pretty much sealed the deal.
good find once again.

Could you please explain what “Parellels” are…
I’m buying a Macbook Pro this week and I am really interested in this fast switching.
I bet you were dying to find that, derek :P
