[Year 12 IT Apps] virutalising in MAC OS

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Interestingly, with some of the new stuff packed into VMWare / 
VirtualBox / Parallels .. you can even run both inside, outside and into 
each other. Here is an interesting screenshot where all the windows have 
broken their borders that explains a bit of what I mean. I suppose some 
rules were itching to be broken, including how we want to work.

Power users only please :-)
