Product 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:
USB improvement, including USB support for Windows Mobile 5, web
cameras, and a much broader list of supported devices.
The Mac hard disk cache can be now switched off for a virtual
machine, which can substantially improve OS X performance while using
Parallels Desktop.
Improved graphic performance
Complete keyboard support, including the "eject CD" button and right
& left shift mapping for non-English layouts
Unicode path support lets users name files and paths in any language
Improved shared folders performance
Minor bug fixes
Product Requirements:
Intel-based Mac
