Parallels 8 Released...Run thru with Win8

MacRS4 · 30 Aug 2012 at 23:50

A while ago I posted about Win8 in Parallels 7 and some of the problems associated with it....Anyways, Parallels 8 came out today (for upgrades anyway) and they seem to have fixed some, but not all, of the issues.

Some write up/info here should anyone be vaguely be interested.

Fusion 5, and how to allocated more than 8Gb RAM.

May possibly be useful to somebody

I was going to do a proper Fusion 5 vs. Parallels 7 head-to-head but I couldn't really be bothered. P7 was faster than Fusion 5 (especially 3D) and I much prefer it overall anyway, so I expect P8 will be better still.

Good benchmark comparison here.

P8 is better. I've been Beta testing it for a couple of months.
