You know if anyone has got linux binaries running on OS X under x86?
I'd imagine this would be possible and would allow people to run the
linux version of XSI under OS X. Which should give good performance as
well.

Cheers,

Well the Parallel Desktop people themselves say they

performance is horible. The software requires using their
video drivers in Windows to work with the virtualized graphics
card and other hardware.  It's never going to run like if
you were running Windows directly on the hardware, and you'll
never be able to install optimized nVidia or ATI drivers
in a virtualized Windows, that's not how these things work.
They work by making Windows run in an idealized machine.
