Software Reviews of Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: parawhat?
Summary: 1 Stars
Want actually working USB peripherals? buy VM Fusion
I bought parallels 3.0 in November
I was thoroughly disappointed in its performance, I felt cheated because almost none of my usb peripherals worked, it didnt begin to live up to expectations.
My USB GPS or USB broadband modem or my USB Game controller didnt work, making parallels almost entirely useless to me, I could have saved my money and simply used boot camp.
Parallels release 4.0 supposed as a free upgrade to new 3.0 purchasers.
I submitted my proof of purchase receipt on the 1st of Dec 08 its now January 2009 and till this date I still haven't received a 4.0 activation key for the Parallels Manufacturer.
I bought VM Fusion and imported my VM machine and instantly every one of my usb peripherals worked perfectly.
Do not waste time and money on a product or company that cant or wont even attempt to deliver what it claims.
I dont own stock or interest in either company. but with VM fusion I do have a Virtual windows machine on my Mac with working USB peripherals.

This is a disaster....get fusion instead. I have had nothing but difficulties getting it to load and function. Customer Review: Does what it says and makes it easy

I was going back and forth over whether to buy Parallels or VM Fusion and just tried the free download. The product worked so well I didn't even bother with a comparison test when the free demo expired; I just bought it.Customer Review: Parallels 3.0
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a recently converted Mac user, but there are still many Windows programs I am either not willing to give up or are not available for Mac, thus I purchased this software to be able to run Windows and Mac OS X simultaneously.
I must say I am very happy with it! I simply click on my Windows Taskbar that sits quite nicely above the Mac's dock and I can go anywhere in Windows I want.
Customer Review: no support

I bought this from Amazon not realizing that Parallels Desktop 3.0 was an old version. I wanted to run DOS 6.0 on my macbook but could not install it from floppy disks and could not get advice on how to achieve the installation with CD-ROMs or floppies. No response from the company. Now I have to buy a complete version of Windows XP, install it and run DOS under the command prompt. I could have done this without Parallels. It was a total waste of money for me.
