and yet they advertise that it does...

Please be assured that a geek of your evident stature would never take a recommendation from anyone anyhow...But thankfully my clients are regular people that know nothing about computers or networks, so rely on my expertise, and yes I am an expert, Cisco, Microsoft and Apple have certified me as such...

Let's be clear here, this product is being marketed to the casual user, not the war-driving, Linux pimping, ubergeek, no offense...

So if you advertise, as I stated in a previous post which you conveniently dis-regarded in your rant-response, that Parallels lets you "Build virtual machines that work exactly like stand-alone Windows computers " well your argument that I "...have created your own assumption out of nothing and now you are angry because the software does not match up an assumption you yourself created..." simply doesn't hold water.

One final note, since everyone seems to be missing the irony of some of my statements. I am fully aware that Parallels Desktop for Mac is a final shipping product. However, my point is that it is not ready to be a final shipping product, it clearly doesn't measure up to what they are advertising, are you all really that obtuse?

From Wikipedia...:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage

A beta version or beta release usually represents the first version of a computer program that implements all features in the initial software requirements specification. It is likely to be unstable but useful for internal demonstrations and previews to select customers, but not yet ready for release. Some developers refer to this stage as a preview, as a technical preview (TP) or as an early access.

Let's not get into a flame war here.

You say that it clearly does not measure up to what they are advertising. Fair enough, I'll agree with you on that one - the claims they make clearly do not measure up to how the program performs. However, are many people really that naive to believe all claims made by companies? Surely you should check out the product yourself.

I still strongly disagree with your own ethics in recommending products you haven't tested to paying customers. I truly think that is indeed reprehensible. But fine, that is, quite literally, your business.

Pointing out that you've looked up what beta means really doesn't demonstrate anything. I could make the same argument to say I don't think Windows XP is ready to come of beta then. It still frequently crashes on me, it has known unrepaired bugs, it causes my whole machine to lock up sometimes. So is XP a beta product? No, it's not any more than Parallels is. The final say to a program's development stage is given by the manufacturer. If Microsoft say a product is "final" then it's final. If Parallels say a product is final then it's final. Regardless of the number of bugs, stability, etc.

mtroute,

You sound very much like the most intellectually gifted person on the planet.

Please share some more of your wisdom with us.

Guide us from our obtuseness, and lead us into intellectual harmony.

The shear volume of products and solutions available in the technology world make it impossible to test or be intimately familiar with every product that comes along. I rely on a company's statements as to the capabilities of their products. If I relied only on products that I had personally assured were good products through testing then I would recommend very few products, Windows, Exchange, some Cisco gear or Qwest data lines would never be recommended for that matter..It's called sales, and it's a necessary evil.

Wow, did I touch a nerve? Sorry
 
This has drifted (!) way off topic.

This thread is an incredible waste of time and electrons, accomplishing nothing but stroking your egos. Please find something else to waste your time with that doesn't clutter up an otherwise useful forum.

Thanks.

these post are so old, they are without doubt refering to very old version of Parallels, where more usb problems existed.. (pre USB2 support!)
 
I think that virtual machines have already proved to be rather functional and useful. Now, I belive that the same will happen to the VR and AR applications. Yet, do you know if it is possible to install one not on a mobile phone or laptop but on a computer?

So frankly I'm no fan of USB. The attempt to make so many things "Plug-and-Play" has made things extremely complex. Plus most development languages sold today do not offer straight off USB support. Typically you have to purchase a special library/driver set to get a USB device working. All languages I've had contact with allow direct access to your net port.
