I'm currently using the most recent release (build 3188) with Windows XP on three Macs (two at home [iMac and MacBook Pro] and one at work [MacPro]) without nary a hitch. I can't say why Parallels support isn't responding to your requests; I can suggest their forums, populated by a large number of helpful users.

The customer support sucks; they dont reply to emails and they are very rude if you asked them any questions. I guess this is enough trash talking for now about this truly "parallels" program...

For all the hiccups and lag that some users have reported, it is still an amazing feat — and I would wager it is making MacIntel boxes more appealing for people who still need to use Windows. No rebooting, no emulation. Two OSes side by side.

Everything in Parallels is great, it allowed me to switch to Mac a few months ago and this beta works fine on my MacBook Pro with XP running SQL Server flawlessly. A company that delivers this well must survive - I suspect someone, Apple or MS , might buy them. Am I missing something in Mista Carruth post?

But I have to say that some of these screenshots are really freaking me out. Where in the name of all that's holy does OS X end and Windows end? I may have to go and open a new bottle of rum!
