Product ReviewsCustomers have given Parallels Desktop 3 (Mac/Leopard) an average customer review rating of 3.5 out of 5. The latest reviews have been displayed below. In all its (ghastly) glory! My switch to mac has been reinforced by the purchase of this nifty bit of software. A straightforward installation (albeit it does take nearly an hour) and parallels was up and running windows xp smoother and faster than it has ever done on any of the PC's I have owned. It displays very well on my mac and in full screen mode you have no mac info on screen at all. I am using it to run my msmoney program and will use it for access and one or two other bits of software but I have migrated to the mac environment for all my word processing, imaging processing etc. because I just like the whole mac environment and its stability. Don't expect miracles. This is a very frustrating product if, like me, you migrated to Apple Mac on the basis of its claims. Despite loading it onto the most powerful iMac available, it is very slow and struggles with Windows Explorer, while higher end graphics programs simply plod along. USB ports appear and disappear for no apparent rhyme or reason. Printing becomes an exercise in watching paint dry and even with the assistance of Apple's (free download) Bonjour add on, not all printer drivers are capable of being installed. I finally went the Boot Camp route which partitions your disk between Windows and Leopard and Windows now works as it should. Great after slow intitial install I found this software loaded extremely slowly onto my brand new iMac. I think it took over eights hours installing from the CD (there is an encouragement in the instructions to create a disc image instead of using the CD). However, once it was installed it has worked like a dream and I have become very fond of its versatility and usefulness. Every Windows program I have tried in this software has worked not only beautifully but also faster than on my two year old Dell laptop. I would now give it 5 stars if I could change the review rating system. Excellent - with XP and Solaris already running. Parallels is easy to install and run. Loading in operating systems is also very easy - select the OS, insert the disk, follow the instructions in the installation window. I found that was all there was to it - for both XP and Solaris. The speed is very good - I'm running an iMac Core 2 Duo - 2GhZ. Its the lowest spec iMac as of Jan 2008. But, I have a lot of memory (4GB), even so, there is loads left when running up either of these OS's. You'll be 'very' comfortable with only 2GB. There's no hanging or pausing. With OS X Leopard, its much better. You can run an OS in each virtual desktop - full screen. Excluding the mouse and keyboard, you can easily forget your using a Mac. I haven't used it intensely, but no crashes so far. There are nice features - like automatically sharing your Mac documents folder with Windows (which is optional). With this software - the Mac becomes a true platform. This means there's no more excuses to convert. But, there are a couple of issues: 1) After installing Parallels, it tries to get an update straight after. This hung the application. But, after stopping the process, I updated manually - and it was fine. 2) The manual could be more extensive. Its a quick start guide, but the box is huge for what is in side it - so it could have been filled out with a bigger manual. 3) To buy this directly from the producers is more expensive! Charging extra for a CD version and for updates! Also, the pro version has additional 'Windows' software! NOT, mac software! They don't state this very clearly! Lucky I explored these extra packages to find this out - otherwise it looked very attractive. So, in a word, your better off getting it from here. Truly amazing piece of software This is, without doubt, amazing. When i decided to ditch the pc and go over to Mac, I thought I might struggle without the familiarity of Windows. With Parallels, there was the chance to keep a bit of Windows on the side and still make the move. I have to say the Mac is a gorgeous bit of kit and I'm gradually getting used to it, but Parallels has made it a very sensible decision. I have a 2.4Ghz iMac with 500Gb hd / 2Gb RAM and it runs like a dream. I have installed Office 2003 and I have to say that I can't tell the difference from when I used it on the pc! Maybe there are problems with basic machines, but with my configuration it IS the best thing since sliced bread! And at this price, why haven't you bought it yet?!!
