I think the forum for the Mac version of Parallels needs to be restructured. One area for all issues is becoming a mess with all the posts from users that do not search or RTFM before starting new threads. Maybe something like the following: Guest Issues: - Install - Network - Video - Sound - USB - etc... Host Issues: - Install - Networking - Disk Images - etc... Anyway just my 2 cents... Would be easier to find what your looking for.
I myself would like to see a forum dedicated to each major branch of guest OS e.g. XP/Win2003, Linux, Solaris, BSD, DOS, etc etc. Given the OS's above are of a fundamentally different design and end user application / target audience it would be a big help in improving collaboration between other users of a like OS. Also since there is not a formal bug tracking system perhaps also a new forum for each beta at least temporarily to keep focus on the current build in question. After looking at the forums for several days I came to the conclusion that Mac users are suprisingly more aware of the internals of their OS and I think they could quite well adapt and welcome a more disciplined approach to working on the beta.
a good sign the fact that posts are getting so frequent and broad is a good sign . . . interest in the product is significant to say the least.
