Everything is great, except now I have a bunch of users. The problem is, with the new IntelMac setup per factory it has a primary user, where the parallels and windows live. But to migrate my apps and docs from G5 the only way it will migrate is to create a new user in the IntelMac to match the users in the G5. This leaves me constantly having to switch users to use Parallels, and also causes big difficulties in getting files from Parallels to my user that has all my G5 stuff. I tried copying the Parallels folder into my G5 user account and it almost worked - but wouldn't start Windows because "file was corrupted". I suppose I could user Root User to transfer all my G5 stuff into the User that has the Parallels stuff, but then all the location links would be changed and I would likely spend months getting them all working right. I'm used to only having one user account for everything and this is a pain. I went for Intel Mac Pro. Everything is great, except now I have a bunch of users.
