Paul Linden said:So, can anyone tell me what this brings me that XP doesn't (apart from forcing Parallels to 100% CPU)?
Probably not much, but, and its a big but, in a year or so it will be the de-facto standard, much like XP is now, and compatibility with the rest of the world could be useful sometimes.
It doesnt matter if OS X, or some other OS, is better in most ways to M$, Its a case of options.

mkummer said:Meanwhile, I installed the drivers manually, works good as described in the quoted message. Of course, all is quite slow (as it would be on a similar PC), but it works so far except sound. I am really looking forward to the Parallels version with hardware acceleration support....
Where do I find the drivers? Thanks for Help.

You can connect it via the Connect Image... menu item in Devices, but I find it easier to select Install Parallels Tools, run the installer to install the three items it wants to install. Don't reboot when it asks you to. Parallels Tools will still be connected as an image to your CD drive, likely D:. Go to Device Manager and select mouse and video in turn. Update the drivers by navigating to the D: drive and finding the appropriate folder. I chose the WinXP/2003/2K version for each of those drivers.Don Redhorse said:Where do I find the drivers?

Only an OS/2 driver is provided for sound, so I skipped that. And you can ignore the network drivers since it's already installed. It looks like the mouse driver for 1896.2 and 1898 are identical while the video driver was updated for 1898.

Re: Antivirus software for Vista
I'd stay as far away from the consumer-level protection offered by NortonAV. It's often intrusive and heavy on resources. If you need AV (in a Win environment, who doesn't?) I recommend AVG Free, (for home users) which is lightweight, quick at updating itself (almost daily) and does a great job IMHO:

Also, Computer Associates has released a free version of it's AV product for Vista RC2 folks here. Note that this is a TRIAL subscription that expires in one year:

I just tried using the Vista 64bit DVD to install on a fresh Parallels/Vista VM on a Mac Pro, but it wouldn't load. The error message said something about 64bit not being supported on 32bit hardware (sorry, didn't get the exact words).Sharkus said:I'd go for the 32bit version. Not sure if Parallels emulates a 64bit machine when it's running on a 64 bit Mac Pro, but suspect it's probably just emulating a 32bit machine.
