Hi,
I am considering taking advantage of the MacUpdate bundle offer (ending tonight), which includes v5 of Parallels Desktop.
I already have a 32bit installation of Windows 7 on my MacBook (via Boot Camp), but can see significant advantages of also accessing windows inside OSX.
Firstly, the MacUpdate small print states "Note: Your bundle license works only with the U.S. English version of Parallels. However, this version can run on any Mac OS X installation regardless of what language you normally use." Will the US version cause problems with a UK version of windows?
Secondly, I believe it will install OK having already got the Boot Camp partition set up. I understand that I may need to reactivate the copy of windows once the installation has taken place, but that it should all be fairly smooth. Can anyone please confirm that I can run both bootcamp and parallels 5 with windows 7 side by side?
Thanks,
David
