BiTRiP Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 This build provides several very important fixes to the problems found in previous Betas and Release Candidates: * Windows Vista Upgrade support added. If you’re planning to upgrade your Windows XP installation to Vista, shut down your guest OS and go to Actions->Prepare Windows Vista Upgrade… menu item. Parallels Desktop will tune your Virtual Machine and start it. All you need to do is to wait till Windows XP is loaded, insert Windows Vista CD and start the upgrade. * Global Sharing option is now disabled by default. We believe the feature has received enough testing already. From now on, you make the decision to enable real drag-and-drop or not. The new behavior is : * On your first drag and drop attempt you will be prompted to choose whether you’d like to enable Global/Local sharing or just copy the file to Windows. * The difference between Global and Local sharing are: **Global Sharing - shares the whole Mac filesystem. **Local Sharing - shares only your Home folder(a nice enhancement request we had received from beta testers.) NOTE! Global sharing is forcibly disabled for all existing RC1 and RC2 installations upon RC3 upgrade. * USB fixes. Both stability fixes and new devices support. Feel free to check your favorite device with RC3 and report to us if it still doesn’t work (beta@parallels.com). * Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard” experimental support. The best virtualization solution for Mac is now available for early Leopard adopters. * And many other fixes… Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42589-parallels-desktop-rc3-released-3170/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proteo Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 That's because you're on AMD. There are a couple of hacks that will allow you to install it, search the forum.

other Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 No, parallels only supports Intel and I don't think they ever intend to support PPC. :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42589-parallels-desktop-rc3-released-3170/#findComment-318678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Well... let me see... oh yes what about that little application that doesn't exist for Mac OS, oh yes you prefer to reboot and wait for windows loads up... So why I don't run them natively, well I like more Mac OS, don't have Safari for Windows, incredible but more stabilty, should I continue? EDIT: Oh, you want an example, I have meetings with HotConference and PaltTalk Messenger that doesn't exist for Mac OS, and if I can stay on Mac OS I prefer to run those virtually.
