 parallels desktop 3.0 for MAC, 2008-09-15
Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac (Intel
I wanted to buy a MAC when my old PC died, but needed to have Outlook for my email and Windows Internet Explorer to access my work information, so I bought Parallels so that I could run both operating systems at the same time. Now that I have it installed, I love it. But it was hard to install and I had to contact tech support for help. They charge 29.95 to talk to a tech for anything, even installation of the program, which I thought was a rip-off. You can do it through email for free, but it takes several days to get a reply.

Parallels and XP, Quite a Team, 2008-09-08
Last year at this time I was a died in the wool Mac person who believed everything Microsoft came from the dark side. Then along came a program I needed to run and they didn't make a Mac version.
What to do? What to do?
Do I buy a new machine, maybe one of those inexpensive Dell laptops or do I try to run Windows in emulation on my new iMac. I decided to give the latter a try and ordered Parallels and Windows XPfrom Amazon. I installed Parallels without a hitch and when the program asked me to install my Windows' discs I did, followed instructions and I just cannot believe how easily everything went.
But an easy install does not necessarily make for a happy computing experience. It's been several months now and I can't praise XP and Parallels highly enough, because I've had no, none, zero, nada problems with either program on my iMac. They just work. XP has never crashed. Not once. And Parallels has never failed me either.
I've read some of the Parallels reviews and seen that several people are unhappy with their customer support. I've never had occasion to call `em, so I wouldn't know. Likewise with Microsoft, I've never had to pick up the phone, call `em up and ask for help.
I'll admit that most of my work is done in the Mac operating system, but I do use my Windows only database program quite a bit, plus I've also loaded WordPerfect, Corel Draw and Painter a few other Corel programs and they all work swimmingly.
So, three cheers from me for both XP and Parallels. They make quite a team as far as I'm concerned.

Like Having Two Computers in One!, 2008-08-31
In my business, I'm forced to use two Windows-only products: Visio and Project. Rather than buy another PC, I tried Parallels. So far, the product has exceeded my expectations.
The only issue I've had is in using an external USB disk drive. But the solution to the problem of Parallels not recognizing it is simple. It's just a matter of first "ejecting" the disk from Finder, unplugging the disk's USB cable from the Mac, then launching Parallels. Once Windows loads, plug the disk drive back in and all is cool.

Unbelievable to see Windows and Mac side by side, 2008-08-27
This is, without a doubt, one of the best-conceived applications ever. I recently bought an iMac computer, but still have several applications that run on Windows. I bought Parallels and a nice, clean version of Windows XP Home. Both installed without a problem, and now I have a version of Windows on my Mac that is not laden down with mysterious programs in the start-up routine. It runs better, faster and with fewer glitches than Windows ran on my PC. What's best is that in coherence mode, Windows programs can run right next to Mac programs. You sometimes forget what programs go with which operating system.
Windows, however, is still Windows, so at start-up, you have to wait a few minutes before launching a flurry of applications, since Windows is still grinding away at something mysterious in the background. Thus, I start Windows, and let it run for 5 minutes before opening my first application, and from that point forward, no problem.
I highly recommend this duo to anyone who loves working on a Mac but still has Windows-based programs that must be used.
