“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

About 3.5 Steve Jobs, but keep in mind it’s an inverse proportion squared with his IQ: Ballmer IQ=Jobs IQ/(3.5×3.5)
135 lbs. Most of it in fecal matter 😉

240
No idea, hopefully more than me. I will go with 250 lbs.
320 lbs
more than his shame!
I was using Excel to figure it out, and it seems what Steve weighs precisely “#REF”
Mid 200s? 240-250?
with his ego well over 300
250 +/- 10%
I’d say 225.
20 stones
If I had to guess 200, I’d say so, but regarding weight, I can’t comment negatively. It’s his attitude and personality I don’t like.
