Shrug, I really have no interest either way. I suppose my 'vested interest' is that because I got Parallels with the MU Bundle, I was hoping it wasn't terrible. Like I said above, it wasn't.
I bought my first Parallels in the same bundle and it too was great, unfortunately the 4.0 upgrade was not so great. I appreciate things don't always go well with software but that's when you turn to the support, unfortunately however 1) They didn't understand English - no solutions. 2) One of the main reasons I upgraded was based on a lie about technology that wasn't shipping. 3) Features that were promised as free upgrades were then charged for.
You're free to say whatever you wish. It just seemed to me your comments ventured out of constructive into rather rude. Do with it what you wish. I don't know you and I'm sure you're a nice guyand I don't go around looking to pick fights with anyoneit just seemed to me your posts left the realm of helpful a while back.
I completely understand your point that a calm post would have appeared better, but I disagree it 'left the realm of helpful' - if someone punched you in the face you're going to be angry, shout, jump a little. It doesn't make what you say any less valid.
I think only my last paragraph was rude, the prior ones were simply blunt - I'm not going to let incorrect things lie for the sake of being polite, I prefer facts and evidence. I hope if I need information and you spot something you'll be equally as direct in making sure I get what I need, and not preserving someone else's or my feelings whilst leaving me poorly informed. I won't be upset if you come across as rude, I'll be pleased you said it.
But I'm not really interested in arguing with you. I was offering what now appears to be unwelcome feedback, so I'll cease. I'll read any reply you might post, but you can have any final words you wish.
Whilst way off base about the reviews, you were right about the email. However, I hope that gives others an indication of what they're getting into - that was the result of tens of prior [support tickets] where, once written, I then got my partner to also re-edit them and make sure it was as plain English, concise and understandable as possible (we both endure professional writing in our work). Didn't work - I got utterly bizarre broken-English replies.
If the OP reads the post they'll see genuine issues not only about the software but about Parallels current mode of operation. That's certainly more helpful than 'yeh it's great' - but no-one picks up on the myriad of vague positive posts, they only start to deconstruct someones argument when it's negative

edit: I'm very doubtful Sean/Leto/Parallels will reply and address the issues raised, because I've noticed such things raised on other blogs/websites etc. either get shot down for being biased (without addressing the content) or completely ignored - and so it continues.
