    Hi,

    I have a Macbook Pro, running Leopard, Parallels 3, and Windows Vista.

    I'd like to upgrade all 3 pieces of software to Snow Leopard, Parallels 5, and Windows 7.

    Any recommendations on what order I should install the software?

    thanks!

    1. Upgrade Mac OS X to Snow Leopard
    2. Upgrade Parallels Desktop for Mac to 5
    3. Upgrade Windows to 7

    Btw, I would recommend you not to upgrade Windows Vista, but to create new fresh Virtual Machine and install Windows 7 clearly.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I was under the impression that if I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard first it would make my Parallels 3 install unusable (based on posts I've read.)

    Is this not the case? I was originally thinking I'd upgrade Parallels first, then Leopard, then Windows.
