Do Not Install 5060!!
On the Santa Rosa Laptops.
I downloaded it, ran the install package, told it to upgrade.
Here is the end result. HARD CRASH.

Well, step 1 after install was to click on it so that Parallels menu opens up.
This showed me a list of my VM's.
I choose my typical Windows XP Pro SP2 and clicked on the lovely green PLAY button.
Total machine freeze.
No way to reboot other than solid power down.

So after waiting about 5 minutes for my lovely MBP to boot back up for it to do its standard 'check things out' routine, I braved the blue bonnet one more time.

This time, it started 'almost normal' then FREEZE.
This is totally UNSTABLE, should have been further tested and it is not considered Beta at this point to me, it is considered ALPHA just throw something at the users to shut them up from complaining about all the other problems parallels has that vmware doesn't.

This build is scary to say the least.
