How about dual Processor/Core support! I want my Parallels to be as quick as Fusion

This Parallels team is really fantastic. An incredible product that is being updated amazingly fast. Impressive.

Still slower than Fusion. I made the mistake of pre-ordering 3.0 before I gave Fusion a try. Anyone want to buy a 3.0 disk and manual?

Just get Fusion and you already have all of that, it is tested and runs much faster using less resources. I used Parallels until Fusion was announced. I won't go back.

I am quite frustrated with Parallels. Their product works great... its just that I feel less than satisfied with the fact that I bought a beta version - they updated the beta once, and then all of a sudden they are releasing version 3.0 "feature beta" and charging for it... Does Parallels ever plan to actually release a real live 2.0 or 3.0 version or do they just plan to skip around to the next "feature beta" and charge for it again. I guess I would not mind so much if they would just announce that this software is being sold for an annual subscription of 40 dollars or whaterver they plan to charge... but the current lack of clarity makes me feel like I have bought software from an unstable company.

Parallels may be a little confused about their versioning scheme, but the performance of their software leaves very little to be desired. Parallels is an excellent, very stable product that does exactly what it claims to do without missing a beat. Cheap at twice the price, if you ask me.
