Since my main comp is a mac and my old dell (my old *ell) has no internet and everything is for PC, i decided to take a virtualization app for a spin. Im just finishing install and will update soon on my happiness or misery.. Trust me, this will benefit the community!

Just out of curiosity, which virtualisation app are you using? Wine and Crossover Office both work, but be warned with virtualisation apps. There can be erratic behaviour with certain programmers and installers, which means, you may need to perform some "hacks" to get them to work at all, or resort to a Virtual PC. (Virtual box is one I would recommend)
 
Well virtual box is actually what im using. I tried paralells but windows wouldnt setup. Nice that VB is free. And VPC cant work on my Intel

Does TC work in Virtual Box? And may I also direct you to WINE? It will be loads quicker, http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX , but be a lot more painful to get working (shouldn't be if you follow the instructions!).
You may want to read the TC and TUX thread, that I created.
