How will installing Mavericks affect Parallels Desktop?
Currently using early 2008 Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5. Will installing Mavericks affect my Parallels Desktop 8?

You will need to update Parallels to a newer version. I suspect you might have other software that needs updating as well. See this site to check for compatibility: http://roaringapps.com/
Parallels Desktop for Mac version 7 and earlier will not support OS X Mavericks (10.9). You will not be able to launch your Windows Virtual Machine or directly use your files through Parallels Desktop for Mac version 7 and earlier.
To continue using Parallels Desktop for Mac in OS X Mavericks you should upgrade to Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac: http://www.parallels.com/store/

Thank you! Glad I asked.
You do not have to update from P8 it will work fine (I presently use it) with Mavericks. You can buy P9 but no required.
Thanks! I'd really rather not spend $50 to upgrade if I don't have to.
Parallels Desktop 8 has been working fine since I installed Mavericks. Thank you for the tip!
