Parallels help Mac OS on a generic PC

“SWsoft’s Beloussov says that this spring, Parallels will upgrade its software further,
in a way that by coincidence will make it easier to run Mac OS on a non-Apple computer.
He also insists that is not deliberate, but just a consequence of the nature of the
technology, especially now that Intel (Charts) builds virtualization technology into its chips.”

Write NTFS with MACFuse

This one is for multi OS addicts like me.
I have a triple boot with 2 versions of OS X86 and Windows XP.
So how do I exchange files between OS X86 and Windows systems?

Under Windows XP, I use MacDrive to read/write HFS+ partitions.
But under OS X86, I must use a FAT32 partition to write data on a windows partition.
NTFS is not supported in writing mode.

I really want to get rid of that FAT32 partition and avoid the max 4 gigs file size limitation.
So here is the solution, use MACFuse to write to NTFS file system.
