“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 23 – Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Gregg.
On the Twenty-Third Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Your very own copy of Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac!
Sure, we all love Apple and the ease of OS X, but sometimes there’s things you just can’t do on a Mac – like run the latest games, business software, and viruses. But who wants to go through all the trouble of partitioning their drive and rebooting into Boot Camp? When you HAVE to use Windows, you want to get in and out QUICK, and there’s nothing quicker than Parallels 5 for Mac. Optimized for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and boasting unmatched virtual machine performance, Parallels 5 lets you launch thousands of Windows apps directly from the Mac Dock. Best of all, Parallels lets you show as much or as little of the Windows interface as you like, so your friends won’t even know you’re running Windows, thus preserving your Mac Street Cred.
Choice is good. Not having to choose is even better.
Mac OS or Windows? Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac lets you seamlessly run Windows and Mac OS X side-by-side, drag-and-drop your files between operating systems, and run Windows software on your Apple computer without rebooting.* Run thousands of Windows programs faster on your Mac

I’d say about 189 pounds.
honestly I’m not sure but I know Microsoft cannot claim thinnest and lightest CEO.

I think he’s in the ballpark of 200lbs. The way he sweats he’ll be down to 175 in no time.
Lets see. 1lb of dark matter weighs 10,000 lbs. And I’d have to agree on about 190. 190 x 10,000.. then each lb of that would equal 10,000 lbs too… Infinite pounds?
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I have four words for you. I weigh too much.”
Hmm, probably as much as the combined weight of all zunes sold to date.
Perceive that how you wish.
About 220 lbs. He get’s to about 175 when he’s starts doing the “Developers!” dance.
equal to the weight of the deathstar, obviously.
Third time’s a charm!
I’d say about 225 lbs.
the same as a duck?
keep in mind he’s a tall guy – i would have to say around 250 pounds.
420
230 pounds
At a guess… about a 100kg. He doesn’t look like a small guy.
264.7 actually.
I’d say close to 300
About the same as 2,692 windows CD’s
weighs as much as vista’s code in print
Too much!!!
310
>9000
200 divided by zero
Way too much
140 hp pc
About 300 filled up pc cases I’d say
About 275 pounds… not less.
I go by the metric system, so I’d say about 140kg.
hahaha…today’s question is very funny! I’d say about 120kgs!
I dont think it’s so much about how much he weighs, but more about his weight, and monkey boy always waits to see what S Jobs does next then put a sticker on it.
I’d say he weighs as much as a few gunny-sacks full of crap. I have NO idea how much that weighs, but DAMN! Sacks full of crap, people!
I’d say in the 230-240 lb range.
127kg
Hmm i think he weights about 115 kg
i would say 103.1 kg
About 350lbs?!
A walrus is a light-weight compared to that sweaty pig.. 😛
174.5k, after the gastric bypass.
200 lbs
224 pound
I say 210 lbs.
200 pounds
i think 110Kg should be enough
222 pounds
120Kg.
He is not a heavyweight CEO… Knockout in short time
I think he’s in the ballpark of 200lbs.
Uh…272.
232
I’d say he ways about 95kgs, he is big guy but don’t think monkey boy weights more than a 100kg
