Parallels officially announced the release of update for Parallels Desktop(Build 3186). In fact, This is the finished version of RC - features such as USB 2.0 support (including iSight, etc.), Coherence, drag&drop;file transfer, and so on which have been tested in numerous Beta and RC builds over the past few months are now considered stable. The upgrade doesn’t contain any new features I assume.

Though the post is not so fresh I can’t stand not to leave my comment here - because no one took any attention of it!:)
I personally like the program very much! Parallels is awesome! This release really didn’t introduce anything new - but all the features have been thoroughly tested and approved. As they said that the program was optimized for Vista I decided to try and installed it. It ran faster than I had expected - but still graphics aren’t that good. Aero remains unsupported until Parallels team do anything about DX9 support. I have high hopes about their following release.
