Hi Dustin
I fear that I've irritated my real-life friend now.

It would seem so. I did not intend to belittle your friend. And I'm
not about to start what I suspect would be a pissing contest between
the two of us. I've reviewed the url he sent you, and it's mainly
discussing virtual operating systems; which I already have a
reasonable amount of knowledge of; As a developer, I frequently make
use of vmware.. I wasn't aware of the paralles package, but it's
still an emulator/virtual os environment, and I understand those
exist; I run several here.
However, I haven't seen a virtual operating system co existing with
the same access privledges as your real one; and access to your data,
without you noticing it's presently running. As for it stealing clock
cycles, it's dual processing, (which this machine is more than
capable of, it's running in SMP mode as we speak); All applications
steal cycles. It's an aspect of multitasking. Better behaved apps ask
permission to take unused cycles. However, due to the fact machines
can process multiple instructions per cycle now makes the whole
complaint irrevelent. If he's talking about a virtual OS running with
the real one, sure; I do not disagree about that existing or even
being possible; as I have windows98se and windowsME running on this
machine presently as well as Windows XP. However, by default and
unless I make changes to each's vm profile, they do not share the
same access; they don't even share the same internal IP address. I
can force them to do so, but by default, it's not going to happen.
Another aspect is this this.. Each of these virtualenvironments does
take several hundred megabytes of real hard drive space; and does put
a drain on available system resources when actually in use. This
virutal stealth OS co-existing with windows would be atleast 200-300
megabytes in size.

to me and comment further as appropriate.

You really shouldn't have cross forwarded our emails to one another
however, Your friend shouldn't have taken it as personally as he
apparently did. I don't mind 2nd opinions, In fact, I encourage them.
Dave, you have to understand something very important. Years of
experience essentially babysitting a network and reloading from
images if sometimes required is not the same kind of work that I have
been doing for nearly 20 years now myself. As in the medical
profession, each of us has the choice of whether or not to pursue a
specific aspect of the field or focus on general practitioner work;
as your friend seems to prefer. There is nothing wrong with either
direction you choose; But what often occurs in both professions and I
suspect in others as well, if your trained generally, you assume you
know the other fields as well; and to a certain extint you do, but as
you know from reading usenet, I am specifically trained in the field
of malware and OS security. It's my specialty. Your friends training
appears to be mainly network/support based. He wouldn't be expected
to fully understand malware.
What I'm trying to say is that you wanted information on malware, and
asked someone who doesn't specialize in the field. He gave his best
analysis of his experience, however, it's just not all
factually/logically right (yes, I'm being anal. lol) and then you
asked a specialist in the field to comment on his general opinion on
the matter. Sometimes, your going to run across a general
practitioner doctor who will be offended if you then get a 2nd
opinion from a specialist and then show the original doctor the
specialist disagrees with his findings.
This field and that of the medical is very competitive, and a lot of
times, people tend to say they have such and such experience with
this or that. Some of it's bs I suspect, and some is true. My only
defense to that claim is that some of my previous work speaks for
itself.
*** end email body
You are still asking the same fucking questions, because your memory
isn't for shit, twelve (12!) years later. So please, quit trying to
claim that you are retaining any knowledge on your own; you aren't.
Seems simple enough to me.
That's because you have no idea what you're writing about, as usual.
