Parallels Desktop 5.0 review
Parallels users who are owners of the previous version will most likely get by without upgrading, especially as version 4 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
Equally, less frequent virtualisation users may also be content with a less sophisticated alternative such as the free and open source VirtualBox. However, if you’re a regular user, then this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Parallels Desktop 5 - How to disable shared applications
Hello Alan,
I am from Parallels and I wanted to thank you for your review on Parallels. I noticed your mention regarding disabling shared applications in your virtual machine configuration.
I think that first, make sure that the virtual machine isn’t running. Then click on “Configure” in the Parallels Desktop taskbar and disable Shared Applications. Save these changes and re-start the Virtual Machine. This should stop the issue from occurring. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at sgibbons@parallels.com. Cheers.
