as far as I can tell parallels is only for mac....this does nothing to help linux users (unless I am missing something). I sent an email a long time ago to clearview asking to let me help them port the java code for linux. Being a programmer, and good with java and linux I can't imagine it being that hard to do for me. But the company unprofessionally never replied....Maybe one day they will learn to embrace community support so that we can all benefit, themselves included.
