"Why" as in "what is the difference, and the advantage of parrot", not 
as in "Why do they want to do something as stupid"

All the virtual machines seems to boost the same advantages for all the 
languages.

So I just wondered if anybody had a few practical examples of the 
difference, and why I should get excited over Parrot.

So far, it seems like a better idea to get Python running on .net/mono, 
as I cannot seem to get around the Windows platform in my professional 
work.

However, I can easily get around Perl, so if Python on Parrot dosn't 
have a big advantage it is hard to get excited about.

Making Python run faster is not that big a deal to me.
