Domain Name Com's - Software : Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac (Intel Mac)

- Too many bugs and glitches
Installation went OK on my new iMac 2.8 Core2 Duo. Basic functions looked working fine. Internet connection had no problem. However, as soon as you try to do something more sophisticated, it doesn't work at all. Often times it hangs without any obvious reason and only way to get out of the status is reboot. Seamless mode never worked as advertised. No customer support. Forget about drag and drop between Mac and Windows - it will crash. It cannot detect external hard drive that is connected via USB. It cannot even handle Windows automatic update. Can't believe I paid $79 for this piece of junk. Do not buy this product. Their version should be 0.1.7 or something. Not even close to 1.0.

- Parallels Desktop for Mac - Simply Splendid
Parallels Desktop for the Mac has worked fabulously for me. I use it to run multiple operating systems on my Mac Book Pro at the same time.

I need to run Quicken 2008 Home & Business when I'm away from home for my personal and business accounting. Unfortunately Quicken's Mac version does not support business features like invoicing, so I still use the far superior Windows version. Occasionally I'll encounter a web site that requires Microsoft's Internet Explorer too, so with Parallels I can quickly start Windows and get on with what I need to do.

I could just run Windows on the Mac without Parallels by using Apple's Boot Camp. This requires shutting the Mac down and restarting it in Windows, and then shutting down Windows and restarting to get back to OS X. With Parallels I can have both OS X and Windows running at once.

In practice the Parallels solution works perfectly for me except when the Windows program I want to run needs direct access to the computer's hardware. I use video production programs from Serious Magic, who has now been absorbed into Adobe. I use their DV Rack, Virtual Communicator, and Ultra 2 programs, all of which are only available for Windows. These programs use the gpu on the video card for high speed video processing tasks. Currently these programs cannot run under Parallels since the VM only presents a VESA compliant video driver, so no direct access to video hardware is possible with Parallels at this time. When I use those programs that must have direct access to the hardware I use Boot Camp.

- NON-EXISTENT TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Unless you're particularly computer saavy, you may be a lot better off using boot camp.
There is virtually NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
If you have any problems with this program, and I've had several, you're basically on your own.
I bought this program to be able to run some 3rd party software on my new mac pro. When I had trouble with one of the programs, I contacted technical support by e-mail. They responded a week later. (They claim to respond within 3 days). They told me that parallels doesn't work with that particular program.
I contacted them again about a problem I had with running a webcam with windows and they advised me to upgrade to a newer version of parallels. Once I did that, I've lost all ability to access the internet with windows through parallels. I've contacted them twice to resolve this problem and still no response....a week later!!

- An excellent addition to Mac!
Very easy to install and use. You can bounce between your Mac and Windows applications in seconds. An essential improvement to your Mac computer.

- Good Product but damaged
I looked forward to receiving this software for installation on my new Apple computer, howver it would'nt install sucessfully. I took it to the Apple store who found the CD to be scratched and replaced it free of charge. I did not return to Amazon because the software package had been opened. I am now sucessfully using the program but not due to Amazon
