Parallels 4 works great now; should I bother to use my free upgrade to v5?

    I upgraded by MBP to 4GB, and Parallels 4 is now running great. Is there anything compelling about v5 for me to use my free upgrade to v5? I am thinking about waiting until mid-December to claim the upgrade... maybe the apparent bugs and complications will be worked out by then.

    I think version 5 is much faster than version 4. Do the upgrade!

    Are you using Vista or Windows 7? If so, then v5 adds Aero support.

    PD5 is giving me issues I say stay with 4 until they have a point update.

    I would Stay with Parallels for Now

    I upgraded to Parallels 5 and I wish I had not even seen the email announcing it. I am either having the slow start up problem mentioned elsewhere or intermittent startup. Sometimes the VM starts but Windows XP will not, sometimes both start but the cursor remains an hourglass. I was much happier with 4.
