 5-star from website, 1-star from disk July 12, 2008
ElkoJohn (Nevada)
I bought the disk with my Mac, but the disk was out-of-date for Leopard, and wouldn't run. So I went to the Parallels website & downloaded the trial version which worked perfectly. Then I went ahead & paid for it again bc Mac said it was a Parallels problem & Parallels charges $30 to talk to them on the phone. Anyhow, for all you Vista/MS haters, trash your PC and enjoy the quality of Mac with Windows XP too! (XP runs better on my Mac than it did on my PC).

I looked forward to receiving this software for installation on my new Apple computer, howver it would'nt install sucessfully. I took it to the Apple store who found the CD to be scratched and replaced it free of charge. I did not return to Amazon because the software package had been opened. I am now sucessfully using the program but not due to Amazon
An excellent addition to Mac! July 17, 2008

Very easy to install and use. You can bounce between your Mac and Windows applications in seconds. An essential improvement to your Mac computer.
 NON-EXISTENT TECHNICAL SUPPORT July 17, 2008

Unless you're particularly computer saavy, you may be a lot better off using boot camp.
There is virtually NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
If you have any problems with this program, and I've had several, you're basically on your own.
I bought this program to be able to run some 3rd party software on my new mac pro. When I had trouble with one of the programs, I contacted technical support by e-mail. They responded a week later. (They claim to respond within 3 days). They told me that parallels doesn't work with that particular program.
I contacted them again about a problem I had with running a webcam with windows and they advised me to upgrade to a newer version of parallels. Once I did that, I've lost all ability to access the internet with windows through parallels. I've contacted them twice to resolve this problem and still no response....a week later!!
Too many bugs and glitches July 21, 2008

Installation went OK on my new iMac 2.8 Core2 Duo. Basic functions looked working fine. Internet connection had no problem. However, as soon as you try to do something more sophisticated, it doesn't work at all. Often times it hangs without any obvious reason and only way to get out of the status is reboot. Seamless mode never worked as advertised. No customer support. Forget about drag and drop between Mac and Windows - it will crash. It cannot detect external hard drive that is connected via USB. It cannot even handle Windows automatic update. Can't believe I paid $79 for this piece of junk. Do not buy this product. Their version should be 0.1.7 or something. Not even close to 1.0.
