    Yes, but the only way to find out with Ubuntu given the VB hacks necessary is to try it, which I'm doing right now :D

    EDIT: Still haven't done the trial, been working on syncing my blackberry which is done, getting to it...will report back...

    I installed the program, but can't even launch it manually or find an icon....anyone done this in Ubuntu?

    EDIT: now reading this, interesting re Parallels: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-install-parallels-on-ubuntu-to.html

    EDIT2: from Canonical:

    *Important note to users*: The current version in the Ubuntu repositories is for Ubuntu 7.10 users only. Ubuntu 8.04 users should wait for the updated version.

    I guess so :D

    No, it's a 15 day trial, then 49 samolians, which I'd gladly pay if it supports 3d acceleration :D
