Brief Hands-On Report--Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 Beta Build 5570 improves Leopard Compatibility

2004–09November 27, 2007Bill FoxReviews
Parallels released Desktop for Mac 3.0 beta Build 5570 to replace Build 5540. It is available for download via MacUpdate.com.

Build 5570 has improved Leopard and USB device compatibility as well as numerous bug fixes.

We uninstalled Build 5540, downloaded and installed Build 5570 and updated Parallels Tools in our Windows XP and Vista virtual machines. When we first tried to launch the Windows XP virtual machine we got an Error 2 but a restart of our MacBook Pro solved that problem.

We updated Windows XP and Vista with the latest security patches from Microsoft and then updated the Apple and Mozilla applications. After brief use, no issues were encountered with either virtual machine. [Bill Fox]
