[CoLoCo] Fw: Instantly save $20 OFF Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows and Linux

[David L. Willson]

So, other than being a lot cheaper, Parallels for Linux gives me nothing VMware
Workstation doesn't.

VMware Fusion is for the Mac, so it's not interesting to me.

I ~will~ be running Linux on my hardware, but I would like to be able to play my old
Windows games in a guest VM.
