[NPMUG] Snow Leopard and Parallels for Windows

[Marty Swartz]

Hello, all -

I suspect more than a few of you use Parallels for Windows. I've just gone
through a time-eating hassle upgrading one of the machines in our household,
and I want to save you from going down the same blind alleys.

If you ARE a Parallels user, make sure that you upgrade to version 4.0
before you install Snow Leopard.  I tried just the opposite, and it didn't
work.  Parallels v3 will not work in Snow Leopard, and you can't run the v3
to v4 updater _after_ you perform the SL upgrade.  Happily, I had a bootable
backup on an external Firewire drive, (I have a Neptune from OtherWorld
Computing,) so I was able to restore the MacBook Pro to its initial state
and start over. Yay backups!

Best,
Marty Swartz
