(Although this behavior has changed in WM6). And .NET developers have the advantage of being to start developing applications for Mac without having to learn some new language or method of programming. They'll have to familiarize themselves with some specific MacOS libraries at most. I'm talking about Mono of course. A good alternative (don't know if it's better) for Parallels is VMWare Fusion, which I use for Visual Studio (I admit, nothing beats Visual Studio) and iWork '08 provides a nice (but different) alternative to Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. When I first transfered to Mac I found myself asking "What's so good about it, what's the big fuzz..." and it took me a while but in the end I was seduced by the Mac side and now I wouldn't be able to live without my Mac.
