Also interested in this. Don't want to load Sierra if it breaks Parallels.

That is great information. Thank you for posting.
I would not have found that. Spacebar aside, it is working perfectly for me as well.how do i write a post? anyone know? i need to ask why my network wont work when ive followed all the steps its given me but i still cant connect
Alas, Parallels Desktop 11 on my 10.12 iMac won't launch virtual machines.
Version 11.2.0 (32581) - any OS results in an error 15, which points to http://kb.parallels.com/en/116216. I'll try the uninstall/re-install trick next.
Update: I tried to delete and reinstall Parallels, no luck. All VMs hang and won't launch.
Update2: It works. Turns out that cupsd wasn't running, and won't automatically launch on my system for some reason, and even though I don't use or have any printers, Parallels won't actually start unless cupsd is running on the system...

im having no luck installing it 
anybody get it installed yet in a VM?
i setup 10.11 with my recovery parition, download the developer preview from the app store with my code,
go to install it, goes ok, then reboots, then starts up, says installing then fails with 'storage system verify or repair failed'
but after that it just reboots and i cant get back into the original 10.11, it seems to just kernel panic

Hey guys,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I expect Parallels developers were rubbing their hands if they listened to WWDC regarding macOS. That will be another Parallels upgrade everyone will need to buy if they want to run Sierra. Personally I can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times I have fired up my Windows 10 VM on the Mac in the last twelve months.
I have W10 on a Laptop should I need to use Windows so the VM has become pretty redundant. Given that scenario I will likely remove the VM from the Mac or stay with the present iteration of OS X. Certainly not worth spending good money for something I'm not really using any more.

Hello Parallels team :
Any idea on when you could have a new Parallels Desktop for Mac version that could run with MacOs Sierra ? Will you have it prior to Apple's release of the public beta by July ? Thank you and look forward for your response.
Hi RafaA, you will be able to use Parallels Desktop for Mac 11 Standard and Pro edition with macOS Sierra. Our engineers are at work now with the beta, but you will be able to use these two versions of Parallels Desktop for Mac with Sierra shortly after when Apple releases its new OS to the public.
You are welcome! Parallels dev team is looking into details to make Parallels Desktop compatible with Mac OS Sierra. Stay tuned for more updates.

I am also having the same issue. Any work arounds for this?
Installing Parallels Tools on Linux Mint 17.3 and 18.0 causes the video driver to distort the screen so much that it makes it unusable. Existing VM's with Parallels Tools installed show the same distortion. That's using the latest Parallels Desktop on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015).
Hi, please be informed that Parallels Desktop 11 Update 2 Hotfix 1 - 11.2.1 (32626) was released and the issue has been addressed. Please update Parallels Desktop to the latest build. To check for updates, go to the Parallels Desktop menu and click on "Check for Updates... Latest version always available here: http://www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd11/ Please note that Parallels Tools also needs to be updated (Actions > Update Parallels Tools) and let us know how it works. Check out the updates summary at http://kb.parallels.com/123410 Thanks!
