I think Chuck's referring to me, and the moving process is long done.
I haven't touched Parallels in months and don't intend to.  VirtualBox has
been doing a fine job so far of running my eCS 1.2r VM, and is what I'll
use for the GA when I get to it in the next few days.

I agree that trying to dual-boot on your Mac will likely lead to a mess.
