That's what forums are for.
It's like the nightly news, you mainly see car crashes and violent crimes and stuff, yet most of the 6 billion people on the planet are just having a normal day... (They might be living in poverty, and not owning Sony Readers, but still normal.)
Usually computer/softwarae problems are edge cases, and often the forums are part of the solution, they help narrow it down.
The Sony CONNECT software is the first major problem I've had with Parallels since using the virtualization solution from the beta. CONNECT wasn't working on the Mac Pro, but was on a MacBook. The Parallels forum helped tracked down the problem to a recurring issue on the Mac Pro with VT-x hardware virtualization, which was actually Apple's issue, not Parallels'.
Apple's latest EFI firmware update has now fixed this and Parallels + Mac Pro works perfectly with the Sony Reader.
