VM2Go - manage Parallels machines, run them from an iPod and more

Actually you can run virtual machines from an iPod. I can't promise what the impact will be over time--but I have run Windows XP machines from an iPod. Fun to demo. :)

VM2Go actually looks at the configuration and makes changes to it to fix file reference points so that the drives that did have absolute paths now have relative paths enabling the VM to run. Those who use the finder to copy will find that depending on when the VM was made (and on what build of Parallels) that their copied VM may not work without modifying the VM configuration file.

My goal is to simply the process. I have other diagnostic things I intend to add that will help users with situations where they have multiple virtual machines.

I'm currently running a Windows 2003 from a external USB drive, and all I did was move the folder from the MacBook disc to my external one with the Finder

"move them to an iPod, USB thumb drive or external hard drive and even run them from these devices"

At first I thought it meant you could actually use it *on* the iPod, like iPod Linux. But then I re-read it and realised you couldn't.

I predict a very short life for your hd-based iPods when running Vista from their miniature guts. Good luck with that ;)

You can do all of those things from the Finder.
