This is a bit off-topic but exciting non-the-less if you’re a Parallels junkie like me.  The fine folks at Parallels have  posted a new release candidate (RC2, Build 3150) of their Desktop for Mac product.

There was quite a span between release candidates this time around and after installing RC2 I can see the time was well spent. Performance is better overall, especially in coherence. Speaking of coherence, RC2 added a new feature (I thought release candidates were supposed to be feature complete) to coherence mode. You now have the option to remove the Windows taskbar all together in coherence mode. It’s a fairly simple addition, while the taskbar is gone the Windows hot key still works for launching apps. Minimized apps hang-out in your dock as before.

You can download RC2 from the Parallels beta site and as usual the support forums are already buzzing with RC2 posts.

Maybe I'm missing something here (I sincerely hope I am). After reading Ben's post on the new CF Demo I was all fired up to try it for myself. This is the greeting I received when I attempted to run the plug-in. 

 

My heart sank with disappointment.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm not purposely trying to be an ungrateful complainer. I'm very happy to have FlexBuilder 2.01 on my beloved Mac. This is more of a desperate cry for help as I'm hoping someone out there can tell me I'm wrong and I need to do X and it will be fixed. Anyone?

If the ColdFusion/Flex Application Wizard is indeed Windows specific then I can accept that because I'm sure that there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Just in case anyone is curious about my environment, I'm running FlexBuilder 2.01 as an Eclipse 3.2 plug-in and  yes I disabled and uninstalled the old extension before adding the new one.
