Running Windows Vista on your Intel Mac with Parallels Desktop
Sunday, September 10th, 2006
I managed to get Vista running on my MacBook Pro in both a copy of Parallels Desktop and Boot 
Camp, but this post is only going to cover the Parallels side of things; my Boot Camp post is still in the kettle.
For the most part, I would say Vista runs in Parallels Desktop just ‘ok,’ as opposed to ‘really well’ or ‘it made an un-switcher out of me.’ Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to offer full support for high-end graphics cards yet, so you won’t get any of the fancy 3D effects or what I like to call Translucent Everything Technology (TET) that Vista boasts.
Read on for a walkthrough of setting up, installing and running Microsoft Windows Vista on your Intel Mac via Parallels Desktop, including some catches to watch out for and just how far you can actually push this software, given Vista’s still more or less beta/RC1 status and Parallels’ as-yet experimental support.
