Gotta hand one to Mac

I picked up a used Macbook Pro to play with. Basically didn't have any REAL plans for it. Might use it to do some web Dev stuff, iTunes jukebox, etc. I found a decent sale on a new version of Parallels so I picked it up as well to play around with some virtual machines...just a toy really.
Loaded up Parallels yesterday and started poking around. They have a tool called "Parallels Transporter" that will create a virtual machine from a existing machine. NICE. I had a bunch of tools for Dev loaded on a Acer laptop that I rotated out of use a while back. Fired that bad boy up, updated Windows, and ran the transporter client. Went to the Mac and started the conversion/copy process over. It took FOREVER, but...it was a 70 gig image so, I expected it to take a while. Once it was finished and converted to Parallels, it ROCKS. I now have a virtual clone of my webdev workhorse.
I've never been a Mac fan, too much coin for their hardware, too pripriatory, too niche market, but I have to admit, while I'm not becoming a fanboy by ANY stretch..I'm liking it more and more.
