One Year Update

It's been a year since I started running Snow Leopard on my main office machine and now on my other Mac's and clones as well. I'm running 10.6.4 and everything was solid until I built a new WIndows 7 virtual machine in Parallels. I had my first crash in a year. I was running DataCad at the time and the system just went black and rebooted. It's a little hard to isolate as I updated Parallels at the same time as I installed Windows 7 so I can't totally blame Windows. I have not had any crashed with the new Parallels with XP though. I'm running Parallels 6 with Windows 7 in 64 bit on Snow Leopard in 64 bit and for the most part the machine is a delight. I can't say that I really have much appreciation for the Windows 7 bling as I really only have used it to load my old programs. I've worked my way around the networking and hardware setups and it is not too hard to navigate, but I much prefer the more intuitive nature of the Mac even though I've spent many years in the Windows world with Server and all of the various versions of Windows. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Exchange Server, I'd probably "trade-in" my Windows server for a Mac. I must admit that I still like the connectivity I have on my phone etc. to email, my schedule and tasks via Exchange. So I guess I'll go off and see if I can get the machine to crash again. A year of non-stop operation without crashing sure was nice.
