Setting up parallels and virtual hosts on your Mac

From this article, with some small changes:

  1. Skip point 1, use MAMP for the OS X stuff
  2. Skip first half of point 2 as well.
  3. Download bonjour for Windows
  4. Edit windows’ host file with “your-computer.local” instead of all the IP number stuff.

Ta-da!
