Crossovers and parallels

[Aidan Wilson]

Given how many programs you intend to use, I argue again that a virtual machine 
is the best approach. I agree that crossover allows you to easily open a 
project without booting the machine, but the ram and cpu usage is higher when 
you have crossover and a virtual machine running. It's best to have everything 
in one VM.
