1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, get VMWARE FUSION instead!, November 11, 2008

By	S. Fanara "S.Fanara" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased Parallel 3.0 for mac, I installed and was never able to use it once (I must premise that I am not a novice with regard of both macs and PCs). I repacked the install disk and useless manuals back inside the product's box and it's all sitting unused. Parallels it's not a tool, it's a STOOL! I bought VMWARE fusion, I installed it, and in about 1/2 hour I had WINXP up and running on a virtual machine! By the way the 1/2 hour includes the time it took to install WINXP. In conclusion Parallels just stinks, save your money and purchase VMWARE fusion for mac.
