Just a note for anyone thinking of trying Vista RC1, it looks like it does not work at present. Beta2 will install though, and seems to run pretty well. I'm just about to see if I can upgrade to RC1 from Beta2.

** Update **
RC1 will not install, even if you perform an upgrade from Beta 2. It BSOD's in the same place as if you were just installing RC1. Various people on the Parallels forum have reported the error is something to do with ACPI (or whatever the acronym is
) settings, so that makes a bit of sense. Seeing as RC1 was only publically released yesterday it's not surprising there is a problem, so no doubt we'll see an update to Parallels to fix this. Plus they did state the support for Vista was experimental.
Beta 2 is installed and running quite happily. The Parallels Tools do need to be installed manually as the installer does not seem to run correctly under Vista, but all it means is you need to go into Device Manager and manually install/upgrade the existing drivers to the ones supplied by Parallels.
