Parallels Issued Update to Parallels Desktop for Mac Beta--Fixes Our Launch Error Issue

Parallels issued Parallels Desktop for Mac v2.2 beta Build 1862.2 and it is available from this Parallels Web page. Build 1862.2 fixes the problem we encountered after installing the beta version as we noted here on August 9.

With v2.2 Build 1862 we got an error message--"Unable to allocate virtual machine memory"--when launching our Windows XP virtual machine. The new Build 1862.2 fixes this problem.

The final release of v2.2 is expected in the next week or two.

As a user of nearly every version of VirtualPC since v1.0, we are amazed at the performance and stability of Parallels Desktop for Mac running Windows XP on our MacBook Pro. We think we understand why Microsoft decided not to continue the development of VirtualPC. [Bill Fox]
