Parallels Desktop adds Vista guest OS

According to Parallels' official blog, Parallels, Inc. has released Parallels Desktop build 1898 that substantially improves Mac Pro and 64-bit iMac performance and eliminates kernel panics and major bugs as well as adds new support for Windows Vista (RC1) as a guest OS.

From Parallels' official blog,
Its very important to note that limiting your RAM configuration to run Parallels Desktop will NOT prevent you from running any other OS X application (although they may run slightly slower). It simply helps our hypervisor "play nice" with the Mac Pro.

This build also adds support for Windows Vista RC1 as a guest OS, and adds an improved Parallels Tools package for all of the Vista builds that improves mouse movement, and video resolutions, and beefs up networking. I highly recommend you install it if you're running Vista!

Parallels Desktop releases RC 2

Postby Antony » Fri 29 Sep, 2006 2:34 am

Parallels on Thursday released RC2 (Release Candidate 2) of an update for Parallels Desktop for Mac, removing the 2GB RAM limit previously imposed. The software lets Intel Mac owners run Windows and other operating systems at the same time as Mac OS X, so taking advantage of the up to 16GB of RAM allowed on the new Mac Pro is key to good performance.

Parallels predicts the final version of the update will be released in the next few weeks.
