OT: VMware and Parallels

[Mark Talluto]

Hello Everyone,

I have run into an issue with 2.9 b2, OS 10.4.11, and Parallels 3  
build 5580.  I have found Revolution created applications to be very  
unstable when made to run via a shortcut in the startup folder under  
both XP and Vista under the virtualization.

I spent way too much time before trying it on a true PC boxes.  I  
found the software to be stable on the real PC boxes.  I decided to  
give VMware a try as I really make strong use of the virtualization  
technology both of these products provide.  My applications under  
VMware did not crash.  Using VMwares new beta conversion tool  
(parallels to vmware converter), it was very simple to give this a try.

If you have been having any problems with Parallels, I thought you  
might be interested and willing to try VMware.

Side note:  Rev 2.8.1 is very stable under Parallels.  The  
combination of Rev 2.9 and Parallels 3 causes the instability.  Since  
everything works correctly on a real pc and on vmware, I am inclined  
to believe the problem is with Parallels and not Rev.  YMMV.
