The latest build of Parallels supports Vista RC1 if anyone is interested:

When you install Parallels Tools you will need to manually update the graphics and mouse drivers in device manager from the media it mounts.

A beta operating system in a beta virtualisation software.. all I need to do now is run it in the beta of Leopard and it will be a full set

Does it enable the Aero theme do you know?
Will give this a whirl tonight!

No Aero doesn't work, the graphics driver doesn't have the RAM or the features for it. It's not worth using over XP imo, but it's useful to have it available to play with/test things on.. or if you haven't heard your Mac's fan for a while

Ah, maybe not. I don't want to thrash my new baby so soon!
