Pretty good guide, in fact I came across it once before.

I'd recommend Fetch over Transmit (personal preference) and Fusion over Parallels. Of course, if you have a need for FTP or virtualization software.

Nice article. I agree; Fusion over Parallels. Also, the Activity Monitor and Terminal icons have been updated.
