Basic info first; Computer:
MackBook Pro 15"
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
MAC OS 10.5.1 (NEW FIRMWARE INSTALLED)
--
Also running Win XP (Real Licensed version)
Through Paralells Virtual Machine (NO BOOT CAMP PARTITION BEING USED)

Hey everyone I'm looking for anyone here who is running windowblinds, cursor xp, or any/all of the OS customization programs for XP through a Intel based Mac.
Specifically using Parallels without a boot camp partion.
I'm assuming it installs like anything else that is XP specific you install it on the Virtual Desktop and not the Host OS.
But how well does it work? Does it work at all? Have you noticed any adverse effects when running the Virtual Machine on the XP OS or any effects to MAC OS (oh I am running MAC OS 10.5.1 btw)
If there are any adverse effects do they only happen when running the virtual machine or do they occur when you are not running the peripheral at all?
Thanks in advance for any info!!!!
