Whilst I believe there are many running RC3 with little or no issues, there are also many having serious issues particularly in the area of using, and booting, from the Bootcamp partition, which must be fixed before any production release is considered. It will be totally unacceptable for a GA release of any product to be flaky enough for it to potentially trash someone's partition or render it unbootable!
So I would like the team to take whatever time is needed to fix the bugs and improve the stability of the product, in all of the functional areas promoted by their product marketing. This is their main chance to consolidate their position and cement customer loyalty before VMware releases their next more solid beta release.
Unless this forth coming GA is pretty much rock solid, then I doubt I will stay with Parallels notwithstanding that so far I have been a patient paid up client that is yet to feel comfortable enough to use the product and entrust my valuable data to it and this also applies to the so call "stable" 1970 production build as well.
