What's the right sequence to install?

[Brian Case]

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro, running Leopard, Parallels 3, and Windows Vista.

I'd like to upgrade all 3 pieces of software to Snow Leopard, Parallels 5, and Windows 7.

Any recommendations on what order I should install the software?

thanks!

1. Upgrade Mac OS X to Snow Leopard
2. Upgrade Parallels Desktop for Mac to 5
3. Upgrade Windows to 7

Btw, I would recommend you not to upgrade Windows Vista, but to create new fresh Virtual Machine and install Windows 7 clearly.

Thanks for the advice.

I was under the impression that if I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard first it would make my Parallels 3 install unusable (based on posts I've read.)

Is this not the case? I was originally thinking I'd upgrade Parallels first, then Leopard, then Windows.
