Parallels Desktop
Nov 17 2008
*....

LEMERLOT  I've tried to upgrade from Parallels v3 to v4... - and the nightmare started.

Now I have to downgrade to v3 again since v4 never worked – only showing me a blue screen with my formerly rock solid XP Bootcamp partition.

If you look in Parallels' forums you'll understand why I only can give you one advice: Do yourself a big favor and wait with the upgrade until the next version which (hopefully) works...   
(Version 4.0.3522)

LEMERLOT  Could be a nice and helpful app but:

1. doesn't work for me with spaces (only shows in one space)

2. I can't choose apps NOT to be shown in Fantasktik e.g. LaunchBar and QuickKeys which I don't want to see there

3. Hides the top part of my windows an so the close box of the respective window etc.

If this is fixed then it's worth to buy it.

LEMERLOT  Works like a charm on my Macbook Pro's Bootcamp partition (Mac OS: Leopard 10.5.2).

I never would like to work without it any more.

LEMERLOT  Wow!!! Letterbox is the Mail enhancement I've waited for. Works like a charm - and I love its options.

Now I even think of switching from Entourage to Mail as my main email application...

Thanks so much for this great app!!!

Parallels Desktop

LEMERLOT  Wow, I'm impressed.

After having installed Parallels Desktop 3.0 Build 5580 I didn't expect very much. But seems the Parallels team worked hard because this version rocks. I am even able now to use my Treo 650 Smartphone remotely on my Mac via USB and PDA Reach (for Windows) for the first time - AND in Parallels' Coherence mode - best of both worlds - so convenient and cool!

Since Parallels so far never was able to handle this USB task I wanted to switch to VM Ware Fusion. But with Parallels' Build 5580 this isn't necessary any more. Parallels Build 5580 is now very snappy and fast again so I have no reason for switching any more. In a perfect world I would wish that it would support both processors of my MacBook Pro Core2Duo - but hey, who's perfect?

I can highly recommend Parallels Desktop now again - it's worth every Dollar!

Cheers from Switzerland

Parallels Desktop

KELTIA  I bought Parallels even before the release during the beta phase, I was pretty much excited about it. It runs fine but in the meantime, VMWare released Fusion. I've bought it and use it instead of Parallels because it has SMP & 64 bit support (which is invaluable for me for FreeBSD/amd64 work). Although a minor point, SCSI emulation in Fusion instead of just plain IDE is very nice. Parallels has some serious catch up to do IMHO.
