This review is from: NOVA Parallels Desktop 3.0 Premium - Macintosh (CD-ROM)
I uninstalled it. There were some things that would only run on Windows, but it still didn't work on Windows run on Parallel. (I believe it was a WMV codec issue, and the video wouldn't play using Windows/Parallel either.)
Parallels works as intended, but made my Mac run really slow. I've uninstalled it, and just use a PC if there's something I can't do on my Mac.

Save your money, get VMWARE FUSION instead!,

This review is from: NOVA Parallels Desktop 3.0 Premium - Macintosh (CD-ROM)
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.
