I realize that we can't use Aero right now with Beta 3, but does parallels have plans to offer support for running the Aero interface within Vista? thanks
Not sure about Parallels supporting Aero, but at a guess I would say no. You are probably aware that BootCamp does. The new version under Leopard is rumored to work as a toggle from Mac to Vista, this would be great if it's true! If that's the case bye, bye Parallels (even though I am a paid up member)
I think you've misunderstood the rumor. It will support Vista, but via reboot as is the case today. Apple has been very upfront about the fact that they have no plans to support virtualization in Leopard.
Yes, I agree that is their firmly stated opinion, but none the less, I have heard comments to the contrary, guess we will have to wait and see. BTW, even though I have since deleted the Vista Boot Camp partition, Vista in Aero Glass looked great.
