that's not called a Dual Boot Luke (not in my book anyway).
That's more of a system IN a system, a dual booth would be fast system switching.

That looks like Parallels.

Its quite clearly Parallels, look in the taskbar, its there. Thats the only way to run Windows in OSX, dual-booting is a different matter...

yep it is parrells lol,

@ amnesia - its not true dual boot although you can swap from one to the other in about 0.1 seconds I find

With the version out it allows you to designate specific parts of your mac for the parrells workstaion program

um I think so, but to do that you need aother program which I have as normally windows cant read mac formatted drives.

One problem I havnet worked out is how to copy one set of data between the 2 os's
