I have not received the product nor been contacted by RegSoft after trying to make the 70 dollar credit card transaction, all I got was some sorry excuse about fraud overseas and the need to check my credit card since the order country was different from the purchase country, blah, blah, blah.
No other vendor with whom I have dealt with has delayed shipment of an online purchase in this manner. This is not acceptable and I will no longer buy this product due to RegSoft's policies and unresponsiveness. It has been well over 24 hours since the order was placed. I sent RegSoft my phone number and have done everything else requested in the confirmation email I did get, but to no avail. This is a downloadable product, delays of over 24 hours are not acceptable. How hard can it be?
GuestPC might be great... but I can't recommend it due to the fact that they use RegSoft to distribute it.

Although the author states that its more stable, there is still something wrong with the networking package, it causes your whole mac to freaze, which is pretty dastardly on a UNIX box. A temporary fix is:
Disable networking in Guest PC:
- Quit Guest PC
- right-click or control click Guest PC application and select Show Package Contents
- open Contents/Support
- remove the GuestPCEthernet.kext file and GuestPCEthernet104.kext.
I was able to download maps to my USB Garmin GPS. That works much faster than the RS-232 version. I had just about given up on this working since most other USB items work. Bravos to the developer to get this to work. I was going to start using my son's Dell laptop that he left behind after going to college with his new MacBook Pro, however its been in the shop since July and still is!

If you need a program like this, do what I had to do: By Parallels! It works perfect!
