I've read information about graphics support in the forums, but I wanted to ask one more thing, and see if anyone has tried it yet: I'd really love to pull up a VM of Windows XP and run a Java 3D based application (running the openGL version is fine) - will I see the 3D graphics, or won't I? The only reason I ask this here is because I don't have parallels yet - this is a real stopping point in convincing my boss to buy me a copy Thanks!
You will see 3d, but it will run VERY slowly, and max the CPU on your mac. Think of it as if it has a graphics card from the early 90's. From what I have read they are thinking of fixing this in a future release...
