Parallels Workstation via USB Drive (Portabel Parallell Workstation?)

Has anyone tried or have any Ideas on making a Portable Version of Pararllels Workstation http://www.parallels.com/en/?

It seams fairly lightweight in size at least after the install. It doesn't look like it covers 90% of the Host OS like VMware does. Im looking for a EMU that is light weight like qEMU that will Support XP but is faster then qEMU.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a EMU besides qEMU that can be portable and has decent speed?

Regards,

MrChris

You're not going to find anything much faster than Qemu unless it supports virtualization (routing instructions directly to the processor, rather than emulating them). And the problem there is that virtualization is hooked so deeply into the host operating system that you can never hope to get it running on a machine without having administrative privileges.
