Parallels Desktop for Mac Publisher's Description:
Parallels Desktop for Mac is the first solution that gives Apple users the ability to run Windows, Linux or any other operating system and their critical applications at the same time as Mac OS X on any Intel-powered iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook or MacBook Pro. Unlike dual-boot solutions, in which users must completely shut down Mac OS X and endure a full OS start-up cycle to access a important application, Parallels Desktop for Mac empowers users with the ability to run important Windows programs like Outlook, Access, Internet Explorer and all other applications without having to give up the usability and functionality of their Mac OS X machine even for a few minutes.
What's new in this version:
* Coherence: Our coolest new feature! With Coherence, you can run Windows applications on your Mac OS X desktop, just like they were native Mac applications. You can even load Windows applications directly from the Mac application dock.
* Parallels Transporter: Upgrade to a Mac, and bring your old PC with you! Transporter will move the entire contents of your Windows PC - OS, applications, files, and settings - to a Parallels virtual machine running on your Mac, meaning that even though you're moving to a new machine, you won't lose any of your data or applications, or have to go through the sometimes painful process of "starting from scratch" with a new Windows install. Transporter also converts VMware and Microsoft Virtual PC images to Parallels images, so its very easy to upgrade to Parallels without losing any uptime.
* "Plug and Play" USB 2.0 support: By upgrading USB support from 1.1 to 2.0, users can now access popular USB devices like external hard drives, printers, and scanners, and use them at full native speed, simply by plugging the device into their Macs. iSight cameras built-in to MacBooks, MacBook Pros and iMacs are also fully supported in virtual machines. There is no complicated setup required to make USB devices work.
* Full-feature virtual CD/DVD drive: Now you can burn CDs and DVDs directly in virtual machines, and play any copy-protected CD or DVD just like you would on a real PC.
* Support for Boot Camp partitions: Run your entire Boot Camp installation, directly in a Parallels virtual machine! You can switch between loading Windows in Parallels Desktop or Boot Camp as often as you need to.
* True "Drag and Drop": Easily share files between Windows and OS X by dragging documents and folders from one desktop to another. We made this feature completely customizable to maximize system security.
* Works with Windows Vista: Build a new virtual machine that runs Windows Vista, or upgrade your existing Windows XP virtual machine to Windows Vista, without losing any data or having to reinstall any applications.
