Does Windows Vista work?

[bripirie]

As a software developer, and part of Microsoft's Vista Beta program, it would be great to be able to run Vista under Parallels. Does anyone know if this works?

Windows Vista doesn't work under Parallels Workstation 2.1 - sorry for that. Tiny BIOS is lack of ACPI support, but it is mandatory for Windows Vista.

It will be definetly supported in next version which is planned later this year.

Not yet... It fails with a unsupported BIOS error... I cannot remember the exact message.
I tried with my February 2006 build from MS TechNet.

So it looks like Parallels support for Vista will be available before Vista itself.
