    Hi

    I'm running Windows 8 preview on Parallels with iMac. My problem is that I can't access the Windows Desktop's start button! It should popup a menu when one hovers mouse over it but it doesn't do that, and clicking it will take me to Windows 8 tile mode. So, launching programs in windows 8 is quite hard!

    Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

    It is not an issue, this is how Windows 8 dev preview works, nothing to do with Parallels. The Start menu like you know is no more, instead you have to move your mouse to the lower left corner (below the windows logo) and a small menu pops up, and if you press the windows logo it takes you to that tile screen, that is in fact, all there is about the Start menu.
