Petition to lower upgrade price! - Version: 5.0, 11/13/2009 04:39AM PST

If you think the $50 upgrade price is far too much for this product, please sign the petition linked below. Also, please spread the word! Parallels may consider lowering the upgrade price if they see people aren't willing to pay $50 each time there's a new release. It may also show them that we're thinking of switching to their competitor(s) who offer better pricing for upgrades.

Problems with Exchange server/Outlook Calendar - Version: 5.0, 11/10/2009 07:02PM PST

After having run Parallels 5 for a week, Parallels 4 for 6 months, I can't see much difference, and certainly nothing worth paying for - especially since Parallels 5 has more problems than 4. With 5, Outlook is unable to get calendar information from the Exchange server, to enable you to schedule meetings; it just gets "free/busy" errors. I made no changes other than reverting to 4, with the same virtual machine, and it now works again.

I'm asking for my money back :)

Hi after installing parallels 5 run directly in the BSOD no of the fixes helps. The whole forum of Paralles is ful of users with the same Problem. Parallels Support try s to waste some time but have finally no help. VM Ware runns perfect also, bootcamp itself Sorry to say but this Update is not worth any single cent So do not use this Update until they have a better version then 5.0.9920
