Over the past week I have been working to perform a clean install of Vista. After many, many technical challenges I finally have it working properly. Parallels is working very well, it needs some bugs fixed but it is fast and seamless. Vista is robust and fast - dramatic improvement from XP Pro. I'd like to thank everyone here that posts, all of your posts and replies have been extremely helpful in getting this project completed. Last, it should be easier. I'm a pretty savvy user, but it was a difficult and timely process to install, debug and migrate data to the new platform. AJCVC
