    Hello everyone --

    I'm a new Parallels user and so far I'm loving the experience. I've successfully installed and run multiple distros of Linux (sometimes simultaneously) with great results. All the experimentation has been in preparation for possible production uses of Parallels in my partially-OSX systems environment.

    Due to my inexperience with Parallels, I'm hoping you'll pardon this question if it's been answered elsewhere in the forum. Due to certain hardware limitations (yes, they are limitations if you're only permitted to load Leopard OS onto brand new hardware), I am forced to use 10.5.x as an OS but still have a need to maintain 10.4.x systems for both testing and possibly production.

    Is it possible to run a Tiger guest VM on a Leopard host?

    I want to be able to also run Tiger as a guest due to Vectorworks 9 only works in Tiger.

    Is this possible?

    In Parallels Server now, and in Parallels Desktop version 4, you will be able to run Mac OS server

    Please clarify.

    Will I be able to run 10.4 (Tiger) using Parallels Desktop 4 on my Intel Mac OS 10.5 (leopard)?

    No, Apple allows only MacOS server 10.5 to be virtualized

    Hello,

    I would like to ask you to stop discussing each others skills and competence.
    This Forum is devoted to technical discussiond of Parallels Desktop and Server products. All personal questions should be addressed and answered through some other channels.

    Thank you.

    I deleted my messages, since they appear to be the root of the apparent 'personal questions', of course now most of the rest of the posts are meaningless now, including John@Parallels' post, but I think the thread is cleaner now, thank you DaTa.
