Update: Now with a soundtrack!
Just amazing stuff. Here’s a demo using VirtueDesktops to switch between OS X and Parallels with lots of eye candy. This is the solution I was hoping for back when the Intel announcement was made, only it plays much cooler than I anticipated.
Everything that I had an issue with before is […]
I haven’t booted into the Windows partition in over two weeks. The Parallels Beta4 is simply amazing.

It’s an easy means to understand why effictive designs work.
I recommend reading Mike’s article if you are a developer. It’s a good overview of the four basic elements. Using these principles in your own form and screen layouts will increase the value of both form and function.
I might still write a short series that goes a little more in depth on each. But for now, it’s back on the someday/maybe list.
Hands-down (pun intended), the design feature with the largest impact for me on the MacBook Pro has been the scrolling trackpad.
