    OK, here are my Parallels 6 problems I haven't seen mentioned here (2010 Macbook Pro i5, 8 GB RAM). My Win7 virtual machine worked flawlessly under version 5 and now I regret this purchase for very little improvements in 6.

    1.) Aero goes away (WDM quits). Multiple programs cause screen to flash and Aero is shut off when it comes back. Need to run "fix aero" in the run command area of the start menu to turn WDM back on and Aero features. Early versions of Parallels 5 had the same behavior when using more than one core. I suppose I could go back down to one core to see if it goes away but why?

    2.) On every reboot, my clock's time zone setting gets changed to Central America from US central time with DST. This also occurs in a WinXP virtual machine. What the heck?

    Please fix this product.
    -Tim
