Parallels 7 latest update...just an FYI...

[donmontalvo]

...so I heard from a fly on wall that the new Parallels 7 update now provides updated Parallels Tools that supports networking on that Cougar-ish operating system when virtualized for Parallels 7.

I can't confirm, might only be rumor... ;)

This has been reported in the news. Parallels has a press release about it on their website. Not only does it support the Mountain Lion Preview, but it also supports the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

Nice...I didn't want to get whacked by the NDA police. :)

If anyone is looking for an extension attribute that gives the exact build number of PD7 desktop here you go. I needed this for patching PD7 after a recent update was released.

#!/bin/bash

parallelsVersion=`/bin/cat /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Info.plist | grep -A 1 -m 1 CFBundleGetInfoString | grep string | sed 's/[/]//' | sed 's/<string>//g' | awk -F',' '{ print $1}'`

echo "<result>$parallelsVersion</result>"

exit 0

Example of the output: <result> 7.0.15052.710728</result>
