    Just wanted to report I recently updated my copy of Parallels from 1884 to 1910, restarted, and then created a new VM for Windows Vista (Build 5728).

    I utilized the emulation options to read the ISO in the DVD drive (again, emulated) and set the VM to utilized 512MB of RAM. The VM guest partition, set to plain, totaled 20GB in size.

    Installed Parallels Tools just fine (both under default settings and under Windows XP prog.comp).

    Mac Pro @ 2.66Ghz (x2)
    1GB DDR2 667 FB-DIMM
    nVidia 7300GT
    OS 10.4.7

    No worries.

    Release 1910 also resolves a number of remote volume issues. These items which seems to work poorly now are working much better:

    • Copying from USB thumb drive
    • SMB copying from remote volumes
    • File transfer using Parallel shared folders

    I'm finding that 1910 & 5728 is fast! Whereas 1898 & 5600 would have these long pauses, this new combination is working really smoothly. Great job parallels team!

    I'm wondering the same thing,

    The only thing in can think of is, you have to instal 5600 and then do an update. Well im downloading now and will install in morn. Will report what i find then.

    Build 5728

    can be found here

    http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/rc1/en/download-5728.htm

    There are some caveats about this build that might be worth looking into before upgrading
    (one seems to mention that this build will not be upgradable for the final release and that it could possibly be more unstable than the 5600 build)

    Hey, Thanks for the Link drumbo,

    I have 5600 up and running, I'm Sorry, this is SO amazing, I have list little MacMini and Im have
    win95,win98se,winXP pro,fedora core and now Vista available to me.

    Come on, there might be issues still but for $80 bucks to turn your computer into 6 computers, that's a steal ;-)

    I'm using build 1910 of parallels and build 5600 of Vista.

    I must amend my previous kudos: I am seeing one big problem: 5728 & 1910 burn 100% of my CPU, even when the windows vista task manager shows 0% CPU in use. This seems like a serious bug.

    The performance is still better than in 5600/1868, but that's only because it's a dual CPU machine.

    I'll post this to another thread as I think it's a serious issue.
