however, on your comment for virtual box vs. parallels. I dunno if you use a mac, but Virtualbox is a nice piece of free software but usually cannot match the performance of parallels. (not in processing power, but interface snapiness, which is important for gaming) I can record and send videos of W:A on both virtual machines and you'll see the difference in FPS, even in W:A.

"But good news is Hooray, we can run W:A on our beloved Mac's now!" - yes, but why bother with a commercial product when the free/open source VirtualBox runs it just fine? --Vladimir 17:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Also, I don't think there's such a thing as "Parallels Fusion". --Vladimir 17:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
hi vladimir, thanks for pointing my mistake out. I just corrected the software's name.
