    Using MacOS VPN Client from Vista

    Have you tried re-installing Parallels Desktop in Mac OS to reset Shared Networking daemon? Doing "Repair Disk Permissions" is also recommended in this case. As an alternative you can also try setting VM to Bridged Networking and using Cisco VPN client from Windows side.

    Microsoft has recently changed its mind and now allows running Vista Home and Home Premium in VM, you can read more details here. So there shouldn't be any problems installing and if there will be - you are safe to contact Microsoft on this :)

    A few questions

    It looks like Parallels Tools didn't get properly installed on your Vista Business. Start the VM, log into Windows and click "Actions" - "Install Parallels Tools" on the Mac OS menubar at the top.

    Commercial-style support contracts?

    Jay, Commercial-grade support contracts are not available yet, but it is something we are working on. Current available support channels (paid phone support, free email and forum) although a bit overloaded, generally make up with customer requests. We are monitoring the situation and taking...

    Ubuntu 7.10 Parallels Tools support

    Parallels Tools for Linux make some changes to your xorg.conf. It's possible that this particular program parses xorg.conf incorrectly afterwards. But so far it really looks like a bug on their side to me.

    Expand Maximum VRAM to 128MB or More!

    We are working on the 3D performance improvements and general video compatibility updates. I'm not sure if just raising the VM VRAM limit will solve the issue here, especially if your Mac is using the integrated GMA video card. But our QA team has FL Studio on the list to check, so you can...

    Open Parallels Desktop without a VM

    I suppose it will require a serious GUI re-design, as currently Parallels interface is closely tied to the currently opened VM(s). But still I think we'll see some improvements on this with next major code update, at least GUI won't be exactly the same :)

    WPA Encryption on Wireless

    DO NOT cache plain .hdd file in RAM!

    You can already switch the caching policy. It's in VM Configuration Editor - Option - Advanced - Optimize for Mac OS performance. This way .hdd file won't be cached. But generally caching the .hdd file shouldn't affect the Mac OS performance too much because only unused RAM is allocated to...
