Such virtualization software includes the popular Parallels Desktop for Mac. What the reports on this matter don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t reveal is whether this is simply a legal restriction or also a technical one&#8230;.<br \/>\nCutting briefly to the chase, Vista Home Premium installed perfectly well. Once it was up and running I noticed that the Aero effect was nowhere to be seen\u00e2\u20ac\u201dParallels simply couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t emulate the kind of graphic card\/power necessary to make it work. I then asked Vista to install the latest Vista updates\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsomething I understood to be a problem for others who tried it.<\/p>\n<p>Vista Home Premium running on a Mac via the latest Parallels Desktop beta<\/p>\n<p>No problem. Vista downloaded the updates, installed them, I restarted, and everything continued to work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Macworld has a hands on with Microsoft Windows Vista Home, loading it up under Parallels Desktop and Apple&#8217;s Boot Camp.
