    I received an email saying that I was entitled to an upgrade to Parallels Desktop 12. However, the links pint to tp://echo4.bluehornet.com/...
    I don't know if this is fishy spam or something Parallels sent.
    Anyone know for sure?
    Thanks

    I've decided to ignore the emails (got another one today), until I see something from Parallels about the next release. 11 is working fine for me so no real reason to play around with an early release at this point.

    Ok so i investigated it further, the email link goes to Echo4.bluehornet.com, but it then redirects to the final download location which is http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v12/12.0.0-41273/ParallelsDesktop-12.0.0-41273.dmg which is legit

    so i went ahead and installed Parallels12 and also updated Win10 with the anniversary update...im pretty happy with it now, everything looks solid so far
