It’s no secret that I am not a fan of Parallels. I consider it a necessary evil. We need it because we have to test in IE, but it is crash prone and the networking stack feels like it’s still in beta. People have told me that version 3 is much better than version 2, but I feel like that is rewarding them for writing bad software, so I have not bought an upgrade (although I have bought three licenses for version 2 before 3 was out).
Anyways, I just discovered a really easy and cool way to run IE on my Mac without Parallels…..ies4mac is awesome. It’s easy to install and it works great. Give it a try.

Not to be a ninny on your blog post, but in my experience Parallels is actually quite good at providing releases to address bug fixes and other small improvements at no additional cost. They usually reserve upgrade charges to major feature releases…for example, coherence and snapshot.
Didn’t you recently upgrade to Leopard? ;)
Jason:
I’m glad to hear that Parallels is working well for you. It is not working that well for me.
I did just upgrade to Leopard, but I think your analogy is false because Tiger was really, really good. Parallels v. 2, not so much. In my experience, ninny.
Parallels 3 not being a free update was definitely a raw deal.
