Anyone Use Parallels Compressor?

[majordude]

I have Parallels (GREAT PRODUCT by the way!) and just saw that they have this thing called Compressor. Does this work? Anyone have any personal experience with it?

Parallels automatically compressors my HD for me, and it does a pretty good job of it too. I think it got an 8GB one down to around 4 - 5.

It's great. My Feisty Fawn virtual machine is compressed to 2.36 GB from an 8 GB maximum size. It set this up automatically for me when I first made the virtual machine, and I didn't notice that it did it until I command +i'd on the virtual machine.

I guess it works just like Disk Utility's sparse image method for making disk images.

The program runs inside Windows (not in OSX), right?

I think I will buy it because I have limited disk space.

Thanks for the feedback!

By the way, are you all running an anti-virus program inside of XP?
