Brief Hands-On Report--Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 Build 5608

Parallels released an update (Build 5608) to its Desktop for Mac 3.0 to take care of a few issues with Mac OS X 10.5.3. It is available for download within the application or via MacUpdate.com.

Once again I could not get "Check for Updates..." within the Help menu of the application to provide the update so I downloaded the update via MacUpdate. I uninstalled Build 5600 and then installed Build 5608 with no problems. No issues were encountered during updating Parallels Tools in my Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 virtual machines nor during updating each OS and using it for awhile. [Bill Fox]
