Parallels Beta 5

Parallels Beta 5 has been released and since I have been having numerous problems with the cut-n-paste in Parallels 4, I decided to give it a try. I must say that after running it for 20+ days without a reboot (using Windows 7 as my guest VM), I have been very pleased with both the performance and the stability. Also, I have not had a single issue with cut-n-paste between OSes.
(Note: there is also a forums thread with other user's experiences on with the beta release)
The after 21 days, the 1st issue that I had was the Parallels Networking Daemon crashing (must say that I love the CrashReporter on the Mac OSX :-) ). The easy fix is just to restart the daemon:

sudo /Library/Parallels/Parallels Service.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_naptd

Note: without the above daemon running, Shared Networking will not work (all other Parallels Desktop networking options will work however).
