Ok, so now the rumor is that the next version of parallels will include 3D acceleration...please tell me this means I will be able to play CS on my MacBook without BootCamp...or, heaven forbid, is there something about Steam that's going to prevent that from working?

I am very skeptical of decent 3D acceleration in virtualization software.

I could see how it would work but it definetly wouldn't be fast especially on the MacBook.

I can see how it would work if you have a Quadro (due to features, not performance)... but most people don't.
