Existing users, 
B6 has been re released with changes, but they decided not to tell anybody . Networking problems and problems with Tools.
My Windows 2000 installation is much less usable than B5. No networking, No printing.
Not ready for anybody that is not a major Windows freak with unlimited knowledge.
Parallels Desktop
Run Windows simultaneously with OS X.

Well, kind of, yeah, but on the brighter note... - FSCALC
The previous reviewer is correct that the Parallels company did release at least two (possibly three?) versions of B6: 2.1.1812.5 and 2.1.1812.7.While the former did break my networking for Windows XP and 98SE, the latter seems to have restored it. In the most current beta, the 'host-only networking' option is apparently currently unavailable (and grayed as an option).
On the brighter note, 2.1.1812.7 seems to be the first version of the beta to be able to handle Ubuntu 5.1 (Breezy Badger) well. The installation process (as long as the VM never went idle) was flawless, and OS seems to be working perfectly, networking and all.
