Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
for testing purposes? Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
disable the rest the copies?

I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

PC->Mac transition? After finding out that Outlook is not supported
under Mac; I bought parallels and am installing XP to grab my outlook

basically dead). Any suggestions on a relatively painless import to
entourage? The Mac Genius guy also reccomended an upgrade to 4GB and

I just tried it out with XP and Vista as the guest OS and it seems as
feature-complete and responsive as VMware. USB devices mount nicely
and can be filtered well. I haven't tried a network share between the
host and guest though.

What the fuck was MS thinking? Fuck! fuck. (fuck). blah.
