Hi, I'm just wondering, cause a big problem... it is not. But when I am in Coherence Mode (Parallels 8 Desktop version) and I launch MS Word 2010 on my MacBook it takes around 8 seconds for it to start. Where Excel only takes a blink of the eye, less than 1 second. When I exit Coherence mode, and I then start Word 2010, it also launches in the blink of an eye, just like Excel does. Can anyone explain to me why that is? Is there something I can configure so that both start just as fast in Coherence? I know that under Windows 7 Excel also starts a bit faster but not with a difference I experience under Mountain Lion with Parallels. Regards, Roland
