So I know that you have to use the Leopard disc to install drivers for Boot Camp, do you have to do that with Parallels/VMware, as well?

I was just curious. Thanks guys.
 
nope you dont need to

have you got one of those programs yet?

if not, id reccomend virtual box if you were interested in a free alternative

No, I don't, I'll give virtual box a try, thanks! I only plan on using a few windows apps. so this should be perfect.

p.s. I live in Colorado, too
 
With Parallels, you don't need to install any drivers, just "Parallels Tools".

You install this by booting up your virtual machine, and selecting "Install Parallels Tools" from the "Virtual Machine" menu.
