Existing users, 
parallels forums is the place to go for support. developers monitor and post around the clock - along with many programmers and power users. it's one of the most active forums i've seen. it seems that the folks posting on versiontracker are not following the procedures outlined by this beta. the vast majority of those on the forum who have tried it (including me) are enjoying it without major issues except:
1. windows activation - if you boot back and forth between bootcamp/parallels, you'll be prompted to re-activate (beat up on microsoft for this)
2. usb2 support not there yet
3. "coherence" feature is awesome but display artifacts around windows when you move them kind of spoil the effect (disappointment lasts a second or two <g>)

the forums also a hidden page? Just like download link for this beta or any reference to it's existance cannot be fo und on webpage, neither can the forums. People have to have inside information to find out anything. I also wish notes had said fat32 isn't supported for boot camp installations. Wouldn't have even wasted time yet. I'd also be weary of reactivating windows several timeds a week, probably ban your own cd key. I would be a person to need to switch between actual boot camp and parallels on a daily basis. Beta definately needs further development. If bug is microsofts fault, they definately won't fix something that affects only mac users. So a workaround would be needed in the boot camp support. I'll continue to wait and hope for a good solution to boot camp support and fat32 support. Unless OS X adds support for NTFS read and write any time soon..:)Reply to This
