How solid is Parallels and Bootcamp Windows XP?

[Robster]

Hi

Up until now I have kept my Parallels XP and Bootcamp XP separate largely because of the issues I have seen in this forum and with multiple XP registrations (wrong word but you know what I mean).

Is version 3 production ready?

Will I only get the one extra registration the first time I use Parallels with Bootcamp or will it still happen every time and/or every time I switch between Bootcamp real booting and Parallels booting.

Cheers.

As far as I know, this problem has been resolved in Parallels 2.5, so I believe Parallels 3 will not have this problem with Windows XP.

Things are different if you use other softwares that have activation. You will probably be required to reactivate if you switch between Parallels and Boot Camp and run them.
