Parallels gripes and feature requestsĪside from the limited USB device handling and multicore options, my only other major request is for DVD/CD writer support. There were no instances other than in the hardware 3-D apps where the program seemed to be running on anything less than the real thing. Otherwise, application stability is fine and just as it would be running in Boot Camp. But for a moment there, I was really living on the edge. I tried to see what would happen but both copies of Windows became really unresponsive so I just quit one of them. Just note that it's not recommended that you run two copies of the same VM at once since it can corrupt the VM's internal drive data. The Parallels application itself did crash a couple times over the past week but it wasn't anything consistent and it never resulted in any sort of corruption of the contained OS's files. I swore at it in Japanese and did a funny dance, but still nothing. I even started the Vista download from inside XP and saved to the shared download folder. I ran Azureus and a bunch of things with both instances running and doing heavy I/O. Try as I might, I couldn't get Parallels to kernel panic. There were stability issues in the earlier betas of Parallels but the 1.0 release is solid. If you intend to do CPU-bound operations in Parallels and aren't in need of full juice, you'll be very happy with Parallels, especially if you've been running MolemanPC 7 on a G5 or less. There are more things to consider than just the one core missing but overall those scores are still respectable. It seems that the lack of another core is really slowing Photoshop down in Parallels as most times are about twice as long. ![]()
