Brief Hands-On Report--Parallels Desktop for Mac Release Candidate Update Doesn't Sometimes

Parallels released an RC Update for their Desktop for Mac. The new build is 1884 which adds compatibility with the Mac Pro and developer version of Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard."

We downloaded Build 1884 with no problems but the updater would not run giving the message "There were errors installing the software. Please try again." After several failed attempts we wrote to Parallels' support. Perhaps we are having a problem because we are running Build 1862.2 on our MacBook Pro, a special version to deal with a Windows XP launch issue with the previous Build 1862 noted here. [Bill Fox]
