Over the past year or so I’ve decided that there are a couple (maybe one or two) Windoze applications that I can’t do without anymore (definitely not talking about the Internet Exploder browser).

I used to write/arrange a bunch of silly songs in FL Studio but that all stopped when my Gateway laptop crapped out on me 2 years ago. The other day I was listening to some music by Tycho and decided I couldn’t stand not making bad techno/trance/electronica/dance anymore.

So what did I do? I got myself a copy of the newest build of Parallels — an application that runs a virtual machine of virtually any variety on your computer, allowing you to run Ubuntu, OS X, Windoze XP and Vista, and beyond. Heck, if you want to, you can even run Windoze 3.1 with Parallels!

Thanks to the University of Delaware, I was able to obtain a legitimate FREE copy of Windoze Vista Business, which I ended up installing on my iMac with Parallels. However, I’m having a lot of trouble trying to get Vista to share my network connection — I’ve tried everything. Expecting set backs like this with Vista, I also went ahead and installed Windoze XP so I could run my favorite Windoze application, FL Studio.

NOTE:Not that anyone reads my posts or even comes to my Web site, but I thought someone somewhere would find this to be of some value.
