For example, when installing guest VMs, the default RAM offered was a bit low (256MB for Windows XP and Ubuntu). Installation of guest operating systems offered us limited choices. Guest VMs are largely autonomous from their hosts, except when the guest can launch an application from folder sharing - a decided disadvantage, and one that makes it tougher for the average user to deploy for everyday guest application/operating systems integration. Unfortunately, there are no desktop/application integration modes available (as in the Mac version).
A limitation on USB 2.0+ devices caused some problems, however. Other support, including USB 1.1 support for various devices, is good and found devices and offered them to guest operating systems tested readily.
Parallels for windows xp drivers#
Networking support is offered via either bridged networking to existing Windows drivers (some call this "shim" support) or independent host-only networking via its own Parallels network driver. PW 2.2 also lacks tools (integration support) for Ubuntu, although other guests are supported. Because of this, we were only able to test Windows 32-bit and not Vista 64-bit.
There is none of the handy snapshot support offered in the Mac, and only one virtual CPU is offered. It lacks support for 64-bit guests, including 64-bit Windows XP or Vista. Parallels Workstation for Windows is a lesser product than Parallels on Mac.
