thread_title:  Article problems 

message: Parallels is a Renton, Washington company, not a Herdon, Virginia company. Their website says copyright 1999-2006, this article says the company was established in 2005. Acurracy of this article is clearly to be questioned.
Is there any solid information out there to be added to this article?

replies: text: Well, from  we definitely know they weren't established in 2005, as they were purchased by SWsoft about three years ago (I wish they'd been a little more specific).  Based on , I'm going with 1995 as the establishment date for the infobox but I wish it too was more specific.  Also from that I fixed the headquarters location to Renton. -- Hawaiian717 19:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong City, what else is wrong? 

message: Strongly Against. The different product lines from parallels (one for mac, the other for linux/windows) should remain separate and have their own articles. They were together in the past and it lead to confusion between which product was being discussed, the software infoboxes couldn't be used due to differing product, along with general readability issues. They are two distinct products and should not be combined again.  
Further, why would complete product information be combined into the parallels (the company) article? For example, when you go to the Intel wiki, it doesn't give a detailed account on every product Intel has ever made, rather a brief overview of a product with a link to the main article on the actual product is given. If the person who suggested the merger wishes to do something similar to that, I believe that would be fine. However, the idea of merging the complete articles for Parallels Workstation and even Parallels Desktop for Mac into one long article is a very ill conceived idea. The workstation and desktop article used to be one, and had to be split up. They're two distinct products with wholly different features now and require fully independent articles to maintain a certain level of readability and quality.
I'm a frequent editor of parallels desktop for mac article and do not believe this would be helpful for all the reasons stated above. In sum, I believe it'd be quite unhelpful and will led to confusion in readability all over again. Lastly, it irks me when people who don't contribute frequently to a group of articles suggests radical changes. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger

message: The acquisition did not take place in March as the article suggests, only the announcement. Acquisition took place in mid-January of the same year.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.253.118.20 (talk) 03:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article is still a bit messy, but much better than it was. In particular, I don't believe COI or ADVERT apply any longer, so I've removed that tagging. - Snori (talk) 09:27, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Major issues resolved

message: This article section starts describing history at a time when SWSoft and Parallels are already well established to the point the former acquired the latter. The history prior to that point is omitted. IT Jungle: Breaking News (2005-09-07) says:
I think the article would be improved by including salient parts from this linked report. 58.167.169.195 (talk) 02:46, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
