Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

I've been happy with the performance and features of Parallels in the past, but the past few versions have been nonstarters. No matter what I do (turn on/off "virtual memory preallocation," restart Parallels, restart the machine, etc.) I still receive "Parallels Desktop failed to allocate the specified amount of memory." with a 512k partition on a *16 GIGABYTE* laden machine. Ridiculous. They get one more shot at fixing this (I've sent a few messages to their tech. support) and then I'll be asking for my money back.
