Parallels now supports Mac Pro, Leopard, and Vista

Parallels will become a runner up once VMware Workstation is released. If interested, be sure and sign up for the VMWare OSX beta that will start in the next few weeks.

I guess Parallels gets earns more credit yet again. While I still think they rushed Mac Pro support without enough testing I'm very glad to see todays post clarifying the issues found in this latest beta release. Good job Parallels for keeping people informed!

Just an update to #6. I installed the prior version and got my shared folders back.

Did any of you try to run the new version on your MAC PRO?

I downloaded the software from Parallel Desktop's web site a few minutes ago, got a demo Key and tried to create a Windows XP VM with 512 K and got the typical MAC OS error message telling me to hold the button to turn off the machine.

Am I having issues in the interface between the keyboard and the chair?

I sent Parallel Desktops a note and though you might want to know in case you haven't tried the new release in a MAC PRO.


thanks,

No the key is patience.

Parallels is ruining a good thing here. So far most people have been impressed by this small company. They've been very responsive and fast in getting new features out there. But, this Mac Pro issue could turn around and bite them hard if they don't get a stable working version out there fast. Telling people it will be ready in a few days and then when it comes out (more than a week later) it causes all sorts of problems and doesn't work with certain RAM levels is destroying their credibility which is very hard to earn back. After reading http://forum.parallels.com/ it seems there's a ton of problems and nobody from Parallels answering. If this is a botched beta then own up to that and tell people to hold off a few more days until they can figure out what is going on. I own a copy for my Mac mini and have been very happy - have been holding off on a Mac Pro purchase for this announcement but now it seems I have to hold off a bit longer. The key here is communication.

WTF????

3.5 gigs MAX? I have no machines (intel or ppc) with lower than 4 and my Mac Pro has 8. I got 8 specifically because of wanting to run Parallels faster.

I can cry.

Careful. I installed this update this morning and promptly lost access to all of my shared folders. I was using them immediately before I shut down to do the update.

so how does one go about getting a copy of the Vista release candidate

It's seems that Vista still doesn't work on parallels...
